Render time

Hi guys

To start off, I upgraded my GPU a few days from an Asus GTX 1060 6GB Turbo to an Asus RTX 2060 Super 8G and am currently using Vegas Pro 17 (365).

The rest of my specs are as followed

  • Ryzen 5 2600
  • 16GB (2*8GB) DDR4 Ram
  • 240GB SSD for os and other programs
  • 2TB barracuda
  • 1TB M.2 drive

With that out of the way, I've found that despite my upgrade the render times are the exact same and I've tried everything, lowering bit rate, different codec, setting priority to high in task manager.
Not one bit off difference, my videos tend to be 20-50 minutes and I render them in 1080P 60FPS.and it takes about an hour and half to render.

Maybe it's just me, or is this generally the amount of time it would take?
These are the render settings I tend to use.

 

*Edit*
My Geforce experience drivers are up to date (442.92)
As for my source material / project settings, I record in....

BIG EDIT:
Just checked my shadowplay recording settings..they were set to IN GAME RESOLUTION (4K), my projects were set up in 1080P 60FPS.....oh my word what an ass I am.
@Marco. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and everyone else for the constructive criticism :D

Apologies for anytime wasted.

I'd guess the frame rate of your render settings differ from your source frame rate thus a frame rate conversion will happen which takes a lot of time.

@RobbieLad there are a ton of variables that go into render time.

Resolution of the source media
render settings
project settings
FX applied to media, tracks and events
Transitions and their fx

just to name a few. Nobody can really tell you what your render time *should* be without knowing all the specifics about your system and project.

It's too late for you, but before throwing hardware at a problem, always benchmark to see where the bottleneck is. Unless you're made of money. The task manager's Performance tab is an easy place to start.

System 1:

Windows 10
i9-10850K 10 Core
128.0G RAM
Nvidia RTX 3060 Studio driver [most likely latest]
Resolution        3840 x 2160 x 60 hertz
Video Memory 12G GDDR5

 

System 2:

Lenovo Yoga 720
Core i7-7700 2.8Ghz quad core, 8 logical
16G ram
Intel HD 630 gpu 1G vram
Nvidia GTX 1050 gpu 2G vram

Depending on the program and build version you use it is possible to render with a much better help and a lot faster than the CUDA option that's in Sony AVC.
Also depending on the driverversion you use for that Nvidia GPU.
But you said nothing about these important things.

My source would be recorded in 60Fps with the exception of my webcam which is 30Fps

60 fps is not 59.94.
