. . and my supplier would be wanting £4,000.00 for the QUADRO K6000 - yeah...right . .

The Plug-in Upgrade is under £90, but the card I'd need to make use of the GPU assist would be £4,0000. Do you think s/w houses work this up with the hardware companies?

Toodles

Thanks RoboCam! - And so another year zooms past. (See what I did there? Using a camera analogy! - Totally brilliant of me . . . )

Grazie

I trust you're tilting and panning as well as ever Grazie - many happy returns!

Yay! Thanks Pete.

Happy birthday --- are you still counting?

You should read more carefully :-)

It says that there is a 5 x speed improvement when one has pro cards installed ( such as the quadro K's )
AND
it also says that ( for the low-end card users ) :

Note that most currently-sold GPUs will provide customers with needed acceleration, including many mobile GPUs for laptops.

But indeed this release is for Adobe and FCP and not ( yet ) for vegas pro .

( Guess I will notice some good speed improvement on my quadro 4000 )

And a Happy Birthday , of course .

Ah, yes? - I read that it wasn't for Vegas and in any event I don't have the QUADRO. What more do I need to know that I didn't comprehend?

And thanks for the HP wishes - I read that . . carefully!

Grazie

Vegas uses the OpenFX plug-in version. I guess that OpenFX versions of 6 have not been implemented yet. This assumes that they plan to support platforms they have supported in the past. Only time will tell.

Tick...Tock . . Tick...Tock . . .

Grazie,
Happy birthday, time has lapsed since your last one! (see what I did there, a sequel to your camera analogy, I hope you think it is as brilliant as yours).

Verion 6 ( intitial release ) with GPU accel is now being released for vegas pro .
Am going to try it out

WahhhHEy!!!!

Thanks Wolfie! - Too excited.....

( . . . well that's Monday gone away then . . )

Grazie

Huh . . . "For GPU support, the GPU driver must support OpenCL 1.1. On Windows, check with your manufacturer for updated drivers for your GPU, and make sure you have one that supports OpenCL 1.1. We recommend the latest drivers available."

Do I need something better than my GTX560ti then?

Here's more:-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sony Vegas Pro
It is important to note that our GPU accelerated modes of our plug-ins can provide you with different results than on the CPU. As such, it is not wise to mix CPU-generated images with GPU-generated images.

If a GPU is not supported, or we run out of GPU memory to run on, our plug-ins will return a green frame to let you know. So if you switch the Use GPU menu to ON and you see a green frame immediately, you know that you do not have a supported GPU. We do not fallback to CPU rendering in the case where there is an error on the GPU during a rendering of a sequence, because then you might get CPU and GPU calculated images intermingled and may not understand why your sequences are not looking proper from frame to frame. So if you see a green frame, that probably means that we’ve run out of GPU resource with which to render the sequence.

As such, our plug-ins that support GPU acceleration for Vegas Pro will present you with a “Use GPU” menu with 2 options:

OFF
This option causes the plug-in to run on the CPU. This mode should be used if you do not have a GPU that our plug-ins support, or see a green frame in the middle of a rendered sequence, because this means that our GPU rendering fails somewhere in the middle of a sequence.
ON
This option forces the plug-in to run on the GPU.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMG!

The: " So if you switch the Use GPU menu to ON and you see a green frame immediately, you know that you do not have a supported GPU.

No Green frames. Did NOT happen.

After 4 passes, in Preview quality, full Preview framerates

Switched-up to BEST and full framerate Preview within 5 passes.

This would have been unthinkably sloooow in TWX5 - I was having to fumble about with RAM Builds and Prerenders etc etc . . But THIS, so far, is looking real good.

So that's my nVidia GTX560ti with 2gb RAM.

I did a BULD RAM Preview in BEST, just for larfs . . It was blisteringly fast.

Yes, more testing, but this first initial tyre kicking is looking the Dog's Bollox!

Moving on . . . .

OK . . . Credit Card time . . .

Media: Canon 23.976 1080p

Subject: Hindu Street Procession - Lotsa movement

Content: Dancing, hands waving and legs walking back and forward - fast.

GPU - OFF, a BIT better than TWX5, but good enough . . however . .

GPU - ON . . . . well, stunning! But this is on my setup, so download and trail it for yourself.

The thing is NOW I can easily GET-to what I want to see and make a decision to go with it or not.

Bottom line for me? GPU - OFF, ok. But, GPU - ON! It's what VP from 10 onwards was meant to do for me....

Re:Vision! - You've really worked hard and got it going.

Again, I do NOT know if my card is what it is supposed to be; this is early days; not the latest driver for my nVidi GTX560ti but I am very please thus far.

Grazie
