Does Sony Vegas 16 not recognize the MX150 video card?

Hello, I have a possible problem with Sony Vegas 16. I noticed that the video card is not found by it to be able to render. The board used would be the MX150. In the case of notebooks, is there a difference to activate it or make the program recognize the dedicated graphics card? The Build I'm currently using would be at 248.

If you can help me, I'll be grateful!

First, update your Magix Vegas Pro 16 to the latest build. Link in Posts on Forum, News Patches.

It most likely will not, the MX150 is below the 5770 which was the minimum for VP10 back in the day. There is some parameter that Vegas looks for that determines GPU support, not sure what it is though. Might be GPU video bandwidth, dedicated video memory size, or the amount of OpenCL compute cores it detects.

Sorry vkmast and astar for the delay to reply. First of all I should thank you for your interest in helping me.

About the case, I made the update today (04/12) and it still does not find the MX150 graphics card. Any other suggestions? Note: The video card is already updated to its latest version 417.22 - here I highlight that I tested in the last 3 previous versions and all reinstalled from scratch.

And

The MX150 video card was released earlier this year, unlike the 5770 that came on the market there in the year 2009. I understand that we do not really know how the program performs the analysis to discover the video card, but I find it odd not to recognize something recent that in other programs happens to be recognized.

I guess you are not following me. Just because a GPU was release recently does not mean the product has the resources of a device released in 2009.

The GPU market is awash with crap and good deals. Plus the laptop market will use numbers that seem to correspond to desktop equivalents, but will have 1/3 the power and resources. This practice should be illegal, but they get away with it because they include an MX or some other mobile designator. However the device will not perform anywhere near the same level as a desktop model number. This problem has been around as long as the laptop form factor.

The MX150 resources are borderline, to falling short in a couple areas in comparison. Magix should be able to give you a more definitive reason.

Also someone else mentioned in another post, to make sure the laptop GPU is set to always operate in full power/performance mode. The OS will sometimes present the GPU differently in lower power modes, this I would imagine could make Vegas not see the GPU for what it is.

The MX150, if memory serves, does not include NVENC which is required to render using hardware acceleration with the GeForce cards.
