I bought a new, fairly beefy workstation. It wasn't playing back the Vegas timeline w/effects very impressively at all. My brother came over, we saw that it wasn't making good use of the computer's beefy resources, he tweaked different settings in Windows and Vegas and got it working beautifully. Was quite impressive. But I had to get the computer replaced with the exact same model -all components exactly the same. The new system is having the same issues, where Vegas doesn't seem to be making good use of it's resources at all. My brother came over and we tried tweaking things as before, but this time no luck. Any ideas of what we could try?
Using VP19
Dell Precision 7820 Tower

Solid State drive via USB3
NVidia P2200 Graphics card
Is there a site with any common PC tuning tips for Vegas? The footage I'm trying to play is .MXF UHD footage from a Sony FX6. Is there some codec package I should install that'll allow me to play it more efficiently or something? I can see and work with the video, so my thought is it's not a codec issue, but maybe I'm wrong?
We ran multiple 3D benchmark tests and all were fine, but VP continues to perform poorly with this footage even though we enabled GPU acceleration. The FX6 footage doesn't seem to make any use of the graphics card -had really low utilization overall (no cores being pegged, disk utilization was low. We tested the hard drive/cable/port and it seems fine.
