And just I wrote the last comment, I was able to start the program, dont know what I did, but it started. Still no file in the Magix/fileIO/1.0 folder

This is what the fileio_x64.log looks like when the software starts:

And this is what it looks like through cmd:

Compare 1080Ti with UHD intel 630 and make your own assessment on performance:

You could try and create the file yourself by using my posted code and updating it with the values in your black box above and copy it into the empty folder.

Sorry it won't let me post the file (.xml) if I change it .jpg it still won.t post.

try copy my text above into a notepad file and then change it to .xml The file name must be So4HardwareDetectionOutput.xml

I had this issue with my system about 18 months ago and Vegas developer sent me an .xml file to copy to the folder and it worked. Worth a try, you cannot mess Vegas up as if the file is wrong it will be ignored.

I copied the xml text and made a file with notepad with that exact name, still nothing in the preferences File I/O. I'll check one more time that the file is correct.

If it works buy generating the file yourself then it just remains to determine why the inbuilt utility is not generating the file itself. You have proved it is working via CMD prompt.

Above file must look like this inside the file.

Having problems since just copy and paste didnt work, the format is not correct. Trying to figure that out... Apologies, havent done this before.

You do not need the lines related to the intel decoder as yours is not showing.

Doesnt work, there might be something wrong with the vendor_id number in the xml file. I can see my 1080ti in the video tab:

But not in the File I/O

I'll try to edit the xml file still and see if I that would help

The xml file looks like this now:

Looks OK give it a try

Doesnt work, there might be something wrong with the vendor_id number in the xml file. I can see my 1080ti in the video tab:

But not in the File I/O

I'll try to edit the xml file still and see if I that would help

That's getting there if you could not see this previously?

I was able to see that already before, I also found the vendor id from gpu_video_x64.log but didnt help, still cannot see anything else in file I/O or at render templates

There is another thing to look at in a moment - the internal preferences tab. But I know that Vegas developers do not recommend going into it as it can completely mess up Vegas if wrong values are used. You can see what the hardware decoder to use settings are in the internal tab. The hardware detection file is used to set the values in the internal tab. I will screen shot mine in a moment.

Is V19 using your 1080 to accelerate the time line when playing back clips?

You can see this in Task manager CPU view.
