CPU Rendering and Not GPU

Grouwdi wrote on 8/18/2025, 10:57 AM

I have looked over posts on these threads here and no matter what you do, Vegas 18 Pro refuses to use a GPU. I feel like these developers of the application did nothing by lie to users. I even saw one person say they resolved the issue by moving to Vegas 19. (Vegas is really a scam?)

I have all settings set accordingly but my CPU does all the leg work while my 4090 sits at 8%.

Please be honest: is the Vegas GPU Rendering really a scam?

...I have all settings set accordingly...

Please detail those settings, using this post as a guide.

It's nada tooma!

Now, I'm going to restore my system image, continue running Vegas Pro 22-250 and forget we talked.

@Gid You've probably opened a can of worms.

@john_dennis Who, or what, is "nada tooma" and where do he, she or they fit in? A Bing search brought up lots of names. Google Translate says it's Estonian language and translates to "to bring nothing". I'm confused.

@Gid Technically, the UHD770 video adapter on the i9-13900K is an area of silicon on the cpu die. If it didn’t have a video adapter, it would be an i9-13900kf.
