will gtx 750ti work with Vegas Pro17?

Hi Everyone

I am currently using Vegas Pro 15 and want to upgrade to Pro 17. My setup is a little ancient and consists of i7 4790, 32 gb ram and gtx750ti 2gb, Windows 10 v1903. I notice in the recommended specs that Pro 17 recommends GTX 9 series and above. I create videos in HD not 4K so will the gtx 750ti still be ok? I have looked at upgrading the GPU to a GTX 1060 6gb and will do that if it's needed. Would upgrading be worthwhile anyway in terms of rendering speed and overall performance of Pro 17?

Thanks Paul

Yess if you want fast rendering and decoding ( for preview and rendering) and use the right settings therefore in Vegas.

@paul-priestley You can install and start VEGAS, but some errors can occur. This is not because of VEGAS Pro 17 but because the graphics card manufacturer eliminates this error only in newer drivers (e. g. NVIDIA Studio driver version). Your GTX750 Ti get no NVIDIA driver support and so we can not fix the bugs there. The same problem is with Windows 7. For the user Windows 7 and 10 looks very similar, but for VEGAS it makes a big difference. We have discontinued support there because some VEGAS problems are no longer solved by Microsoft.

... but finally, I see no reason not to upgrade VEGAS (and your system :D )

paul, I was in exactly the same position. I too was using V15 with an i7 4790, 16GB ram and a gtx750.
I upgraded to the gtx1060 6Gb and V17. I do use 4K and it works well and although I usually use proxy files I probably dont need to now. With the 750 hardware accelleration was unreliable and best turned off. The 1060 was a reasonably priced upgrade. Now accellerated transitions preview smoothly. As to rendering speed it depends on what you can tolerate. Ever since I started video on a PC it has taken 'a long time'. But the days of rendering overnight are long gone - HD with Magix HEVC NVENC takes slightly over 1x real time and is reliable with the latest release.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I'm going to upgrade the GPU and move on to Vegas Pro 17. Thanks again, much appreciated. Paul
