GPU acceleration issue

aping-wu2411 wrote on 10/8/2023, 1:34 AM

My computer is equipped with as below :

system : windows 11

cpu : core i9 13900

ram : 64G

ssd : 1T

graphic card : Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060

I run the Vegas Pro 21. The GPU acceleration seems did not work very well !

My video project is 4K Sony XAVC S. When I run the project it got lag between the clip. And if I operate the clip too fast, then the program run busy and hold . It did not work anyway until I restart the program again.

I have set in

"preference/video/gpu acceleration of vedio processing" to "NVDIA GeForce RTX 3060" and

"preference/File I/O/RAW Processor To Use" to "CUDA on NVDIA GeForce RTX 3060" and

"preference/File I/O/Hardware Decoder To Use" to "NVDEC on NVDIA GeForce RTX 3060"

Can any body tell me how to set the relative setting to let GPU acceleration work well?

If QSV is an option, keep the hardware decoder on that.

@aping-wu2411
If you changed anywhere a setting in Options/Preferences first reset Vegas 21 following this exactly: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-can-i-reset-vegas-pro-to-default-settings--104646/
Thereafter look at Help/Check for Driver Updates, show here the result with a screenshot and if needed try to download needed drivers

I have done all you had told, but nothing has changed. I forgot to say that I used the color 10 bits 4:2:2. Someone says Vegas pro just surprised 4:4:4 & 4:2:0. Is that true? I struggled on this thing for a while. I need help.

FYI, the OP has messaged at a wrong section of the forum as follows: "There is nothing about QSV."

The i9 13900 has Intel UHD 770 integrated graphics. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230499/intel-core-i913900-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-60-ghz/specifications.html

Enable that in bios and use it in preferences/ file io for the hardware decoder.

I used the color 10 bits 4:2:2

Please share MediaInfo for the file type you are using. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-to-post-mediainfo-and-vegas-pro-file-properties--104561/

If it's 10 bit 4:2:2 AVC no GPU can decode that so it will be slow. If HEVC the Intel QSV decoder may do a decent job with it-uncheck "enable legacy HEVC decoding" in preferences file io.

File property is as above.

I knew "i9 13900 has Intel UHD 770 integrated graphics. " , but I have bought RTX 3060 graphic card.

How to set the property properly is my concern.

Thank you for confirming it. Please enable your UHD 770 which has QSV and is superior for decoding in VEGAS compared to your RTX 3060 and NVDEC.

Neither of these will decode 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC, though. I'd suggest recording a different format like 10-bit 4:2:0 which will work very well with QSV decoding.

Neither of these will decode 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC, Is it because of Vegas Pro or Hardware device ( UHD 770 / RTX 3060) ?

RogerS wrote on 10/10/2023, 7:17 AM

It is because development of AVC stopped years ago and GPU makers (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel) didn't add this functionality to their hardware. This isn't a VEGAS limitation. For 10-bit 4:2:2, HEVC can be GPU decoded using Intel GPUs. That said VEGAS support for HEVC isn't great so I'd test a sample file before switching to HEVC.
