Anyone using Nvidia GTX 680 ?

I´m running a trial version of Vegas Pro 11, on a computer with an GTX 680 card.

In options - preferences - video VP11 recognizes the video card, however in the render as - AVC - custom settings - system it says "No GPU"

Any sugestions, please?

Has anyone VP11 working with HW accelerated rendering using GTX 680?

BR,

David

Hi David,

I'm running 3 GTX 680's in SLI. I just checked and in the Sony AVC - Custom Settings - System, mine also says No GPU. However, in the MainConcept AVC it does show that CUDA is available. Looks like it's not just you :)

I have a GTX 570 and it does show Cuda Enabled for Render - AVC Custom Settings - System. Strange that some do and some don't.

Just installed my GTX 670.
Guess what--just like the RAdeon 5770 it replaced---video under preferences or options recognizes card. Render template says CUDA available.
Same result-----unknown error.
Still have to select CPU only. This is pure bullcr*p.

The Adobe specs for Premiere Pro CS6 don't yet include the Kepler generation of GPUs in the list of those supported for GPU acceleration, either. These are pretty new cards, so isn't it possible Sony has yet to implement support for them, as well?

I have a Gigabyte GTX 670 Overclocked Edition ready to install in my new build when it's complete next week; I hope it doesn't take too long for Kepler to be supported, but I can understand why it wouldn't be instantaneous.

People have been using the GTX 680 with Premiere Pro 5.5 and 6.0. Although it is not in the official list, getting PP to use it is easy. It is simply a matter of adding the card name in a text file that contains the list of supported cards... and voilà! The speed improvements so far have been good.

I'll have to do that when I get CS6 installed on my new build. Apparently it's not true for the new ray tracing renderer GPU acceleration in After Effects, though, despite being CUDA. From what I've read, Adobe still needs to do some testing to get the Kepler cards working with that.

You are right. But I was referring to Premiere Pro only. Another caveat has to do with the number of CUDA cores. Although there are approximately 3 times more CUDAs in the 680 than the 580, the performance has not tripled. It makes the NLE perform faster but nobody has tried to quantify that.

Thanks, Krew!

Does GPU accelerated rendering work with the Main Concept AVC encoder on your computer? If so how fast is it, please?

BR,
