I finally had a chance to install a Radeon 6970 to edit with Vegas Pro. Tested it on a sample project I have and compared the results using my NVidia BTX-660ti.
Conclusion: No difference in playback for the same 5 min project with either card. And frameserving to Handbrake is still far faster than using PPro/AME CS6.
In my case - there's no appreciable difference in either case.
Card: Radeon HD6970 using Catalyst 13.9 drivers. Nvidia card is a GTX-660ti with latest NVidia drivers. Source media: Cineform AVI's on a 2x1TB Raid 0 and rendering is to a separate single internal sata 7200RPM drive.
I'm stumped given how many people have stated flat out that the Radeon card is fully supported in Vegas Pro and I should be experiencing better playback performance.
Any thoughts on what I might be missing here?
