Hi,
Sorry to bring this subject once again to the table since there is already a myriad of threads discussing what GPU for Vegas. I just want a clear answer from SCS and not just lot of forum user speculations.
Some facts:
° VP12 (as a 64 bit application) is a professional one supposedly using or continuously updated using the best technology, both software- and hardware-vise
° VP12 is GPU enabled (already in the 2nd or 3rd major release generation, depending how you count)
° VP12 is advertised to be compatible with "GeForce GTX 4xx Series or higher" - direct quote from sales info
Some other texts on the SCS pages says: ". This is understandable since nVidia would rather sell high end Quadro GPUS as in this link:
http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=nvidia+quadro+4000&hl=en&cid=9802324335928609293&ei=oS22UOnyNqCf4AaH0IHgAQ&ved=0CB8QrRI
As a matter of fact some of these high end GPU's wont even work fully with VP12. The Quadro 4000 series will but are also very expensive.
The latest technology and best GPU bang-per-buck AND watt comes with the new GTX 6xx series boards. Nvidia has aimed these boards towards gamers, but they bring lots of raw computing power into your box, but need obviously updated drivers (or new Vegas under-the-hood interface?) due to new architectures.
Now to the question:
I am at the brink of renewing my editing rig. If SCS will support these cards in a foreseeable future I buy and 6xxx. Come on, these have been available already for what - more than 6 months! I would rather buy a 6xx series GPU that will someday work with Vegas, rather than now buy a 5xx series GPU that works now and soon learn that also 6xx series are supported.
Please SCS (Peter?): When - if ever - will we see nVidia GTX6xxx support in Vegas Pro 12 ? If this is an issue at nVidia, probably someone at SCS has info about an estimated release? And if GTX6xx will never be supported by Vegas Pro 12, please tell that to us also!
Answering this question would be prudent, make MANY people happy and stop all unnecessary speculations. Neither would it hurt VP12 nor GPU sales... And I know what to put in the basket going shopping for new hardware... :)
Best regards,
Christian
