Graphic card not working only procesor graphic working

Piotr-Diszer wrote on 9/7/2020, 6:04 AM

Good day. I have installed a graphics card in my computer, and Sony Vegas 16 and Sony Vegas 17 do not use this card, but still the processor graphics. The trial version of Vegas 18 correctly uses the graphics card. How do I force my graphics card to support the preview and other Sony Vegas processes? Without it, I do not have a smooth 4K preview, and I would like to buy one of the versions of the program and be sure it will work. best regards

Maybe upgrade to this version?
Vegas 18 seeks and detects the beste hardware available, thatswhy in the other version you have to point the program to that. What are the settings in VPro 17 (not Sony's) at Options/Preferences/Video and - File I/O? Screenshots please.
Which drivernumber do you use for your GTX 1660 ?

Hello, J-V, Here is the information you need. Reconfiguring these settings has no effect, what is worse, you do not see any impact on the program operation.

1) What are you doing to determine "correct" GPU use?

2) Have you chosen the Nvidia board in Prefs->Video?

3) Are you rendering using an Nvidia target?

Thank you Michael - Harrison, for your help, please write again without abbreviations, because it uses google translator, and I do not understand everything, thank you

Your file I/O option is telling it to use the Intel CPU graphics - change this.

It are not Sony Vegas processes because since Vegas 16 Sony is not the owner anymore.
For Vegas 17 to support preview (not for VPro 18) you have to choose in File I/O this

depending also on the type of source files .
Other processes that are helped are
- showing some OFX effects and
- rendering. For rendering with help of your Nvidia with your right drivers you have to choose a template with NVENC.

Thank you, the preview worked perfectly for version 17. Your experience in setting up I / O options helped. Smoothly monitors 4K 50P files. Thank you. However, after a while I encountered a repeated error several times: after editing or playing back a few short shots, the preview starts to disappear, first on one shot, then the next, until the program hangs - not responding. Needs a reboot and helps for a few shots, then black preview again.

Your used hardware?
How many discs and what type of discs?
Where is Windows installed and where is Vegas installed?
Where are your sourcefiles?
Maybe also too few available RAM?
Do you use the option Dynamic RAM preview in Tools?
If no, 2000MB cannot be used because you reserved that amount for that task.

Thank you for your continued help. here is the technical specification: System drive C - Windows 10/64 bit + Vegas - SSD 256GB Goodram CX300, WD Blue 3TB WD30EZRZ source disk three pieces. 32GB RAM memory. Motherboard ASUS P8B75-M 1155 SUPER SANDY / IVY BRIDGE. Intel Core I5 processor - 3470 3.20GHz, not modifity tuning. What value of Dynamic RAM should I set in my case?

I don't know if you use the option for Dynamic RAM preview, but if not, set the amount to the default 200 or 0.
But I see that your processor is also a litle weak for processing 4 K with its 4 cores, better is a processor wit a minimum of 8 cores to preview and render 4K good.
