Rendertest REQUEST for VP 11

Hey John Cline. I have a request for the next update of your famous Rendertest.
Could you possibly include a way to test for Vegas Pro 11 GPU acceleration?

I'd also like to know how much different video cards will affect the preview.

Later this year I'll be building a new PC. I don't have the money to budget for a thousand dollar video card. I usually budget around $200 - $300 for the video card.

I know it's a lot to ask, :-)

Sony really should publish these numbers, but I don't think they have your passion for knowledge. ;-)

I have an old 6600 quad with 4GB Ram - on V10 I got the following times for Rendertest
HDV template 7:24
AVC BD 16M 5:20
AVCHD 5:10
MC - BD 25M 4:45

I then added a 6870 card and 6GB RAM - on V11 the times went down dramatically
HDV 1:37
AVC BD 16M 2:32
AVCHD 2:30
MC BD 25M 2:00

As I am now rendering for Blu-Ray, the last three templates mean the most for me - 50% of previous time is great. Not sure how much due to RAM and how much due to GPU, but who cares!
