I have VMS11 installed on a Win7-64 SSD boot drive in a system with 6GB Ram, i7-920 CPU, and 2 SATA hard drives. One hard drive holds all video input files and the other is for rendered output. My video card is an nVidia 9600GT and my source video is 1920x1080 AVCHD files straight from my Panasonic GH1. My VMS11 timeline also includes a number of JPG images, some of which are quite large (20MB) panoramas.
I've tweaked VMS11 to use 8 cores and I have applied the 64-bit patch as documented in another thread on this board.
My system rendered a 13:11 video comprised of AVCHD clips and JPG files in 4X real time (53:39) which I think is somewhat slower than VMS10. I used the standard Sony AVC/MVC template since I will ultimately feed the Vegas output into DVD Architect for BluRay final output. I did verify the the template recognized my GPU and there was an = in front of the template name.
I do recall reading something here about VMS11 rendering slower than VMS10, but am not sure of the details. As I recall, on my same system VMS9 did this kind of rendering in about 4X real time, but VMS10, with the addition of GPU support, cut it down to about 3X real time.
