Rendering with GPU

j-v wrote on 12/14/2019, 4:48 AM

That is because VP14 can only use so called CUDA for acceleration and your pretty new Videocard has not that faulty option anymore.
To use pretty good and fast rendering with that GPU you have to use VPro 17 and for that GPU the latest Studio drivers of NVidia.
BTW,. your showed hardwareacelleration is not for rendering but most for faster previewing of OFX effects.

Done, i switched* to vp 17, now what should i do to enable GPU rendering??

1. It is important for fast rendering to choose one of these codecs to render with

and choose your template with the NVENC option

2. For other tasks as faster decoding ( and thus playing preview) use this

3. and for hardware acceleration this

Enabling all 3 of those options above in Vegas Pro 17 should significantly speed up not only your rendering, but also your timeline playback and the number of effects you can apply while still retaining a real-time preview.

Keep in mind that the decoding chips on these GPUs can only decode H.264/AVC or HEVC/H.265 media files, so if your files are using a different codec, the decoding will rely on the CPU instead. These files commonly come in .mp4 or .mov wrappers, but .mov files especially can contain a number of other codecs that are not hardware decodable. So, if you notice you aren't getting any faster framerates when playing back your files on the timeline, this may be the cause. That said, most media from most cameras should work with decoding, as AVC/HEVC are the most common recording formats used in most cameras today.

Even with Vegas Pro 17 it doesn't show my graphic card :( but its ok the only problem i have is that vegas pro still uses my CPU while rendering (100% sometimes)

What GPU(s) is(are) showing up in the Windows Device Management and which exaxt driverversion is installed for your Nvidia GPU?

Only my GTX 1650 shows up

And according to GeForce Experience the installed driver version is 441.41

You should use this one

Okay let me reinstall drivers

Ahhhh still doesn't detect my GPU :(

Proof i installed the correct driver

Edit : also yes i tried restarting the pc

Looks all very strange to me. It is not normal if it is the only GPU and with the latest build of VPro 17. Maybe resetting the program can help you.
Do you have the Nvidia Configuration screen if you rightclick on your desktop?

I opened it this way, also yes i have it

Sorry than I cannot help you further to let this GPu show up in Options/Preference/Video.
Did you try a reset of VPro 17 ? (starting trough desktop button with hold Ctrl-Shift and deleting cached application data) and does Nvidia NVDEC in Options/Preference/File I/O show up like I showed before?

fegnouche wrote on 12/14/2019, 4:07 PM

Yes it does,

i'm gonna try to do a reset right now

edit : how to do a reset? (i didnt understood your explanation)

If NVDEC is showing up, that means it is seeing your GPU. What options do you have under preferences>video tab for gpu acceleration?

@fegnouche
I don't know what exactly is needed from a videocard to use hardware acceleration and therefor is showing up in Options/Preferences/Video. All my used cards did it always and thus I compared the specifications of your GTX1650 with my GTX 1660 Ti from desktop on the Nvidia site.
I saw a lot of differences but don't know exaxtly what those lower properties means, but maybe they are the reason your card is not showing up in this Edit program.

I just have nothing. Also done I did a reset

You should be fine to have GPU acceleration. File a support ticket here, there's a bug going on preventing your GPU accel from working. Probably driver related (they may suggest rolling back to an older version of nvidia's studio driver, or trying one of their game ready drivers instead).
