Can the current version of Vegas Pro benefit from:
- GPU SLI?
- CPU Multithreading
(Both at the same time? I mean, while encoding with GPU, probably CPU multithreading doesn't affect speed. While encoding? While editing? )
Are there evolutions expected in next version?
Thank you
Thank you, however I don't see how this link helps reply the question. Could you be more precise please?
SLI isn't supported for video encoding as it doesn't work at the GPU level, it isn't a Vegas thing. Best way to take advantage of more than one GPU is to assign one to timeline rendering and let the other do the encoding. Vegas has always allowed you to specify the number of threads it uses, and its efficiency at doing so has been improving in recent builds.

Yes, this time.
Vegas also supports NVENC and QSV.
GPU is kind of transitioning to legacy status in the big world. SLI is a nonplayer.
The link was provided to let you know that Vegas supports GPU, QSV, NVENC hardware, also HEVC. And multiple threads. Sorry if not "all" that information is in my link, or to the extent that it didnt resonate.
I'm certain @Oldsmoke will drop in with more detail.
What do you mean by "GPU is kind of transitioning to legacy status in the big world." ?
I thought NVENC, for instance, is using the GPU.
NVENC is a dedicated hardware encoder in a select number of Nvidia graphics accelerators.
GPU assist (CUDA and similar) is older, much less efficient technology, and has been widely available for years.
Google is by far your best resource for general information. Vegas supports both with a limited range of codecs!
"NVENC is a dedicated hardware encoder in a select number of Nvidia graphics accelerators."
Which brings me to another question, if I get a better GPU card, NVENC will be faster right ?
About Google, yes I do researches, but there often comes a point where the answers I'm looking for are to precise or possibly too vague and answers found may be deprecated, or yet I may be searching with the wrong "topic-specific" keywords. In exemple, in this thread, no one still replied if it's worth improving both GPU and multi-core CPU (provided a constant workflow in Vegas). Though I sense like when you benefits from one you don't benefit from the other.
I don't have this kind of information for you.
Since this isn't a Vegas-specific support issue, feel free to post your discussion in the Off Topic area, keeping in mind that the results from no two individual consumer systems will be the same.
NVENC has various version across 3 different generations of cards, so yes, you'll see improvement in speed, but don't expect it to be dramatic. I still say buy a 10 series GTX card... but also keep an eye on what AMD has going on, see if you can find some benchmarks around here (I'm sure some have done some by now) of their tech to see if you can gain speed while saving cash. There may be other cards that give more bang for the buck vs. nvidia.
frosty, I didn't think AMD VCE is available yet in Vegas?

Yes it is :-) and it’s fast. I personally can recommend buying a Fury X or Vega card but I believe one user reported that NeatVideo does not yet support the Vega series.
Thanks, OldSmoke.
