Hello,

 

Does Vegas fully support Blackwell architecture used in Nvidia RTX 5090 Tuf Gaming graphics card?

I know that this brand of GPU doesn't support hardware decoding video files like: 4K 4:2:2 HEVC 10 bit.

Does Vegas work on fully support this graphics card?
What should it be enhanced when this fully support would be applied? Rendering, working during editing, what else? Will it be significant enhancement comparing current latest build?

Is it graphics card partialy supported in the latest build of Vegas? If yes, which codecs are supported? What about using Voukoder in the latest build with this RTX Nvidia 5090 graphics card?

Thank you for sharing your answers.
Regards
Marcin

I am 46. I have been creating videos since 2009 (the date when my first daughter was born in). My first video software was Pinnacle, next one was Sony Vegas 8 (I am not sure if remember it correctly). I am also a developer and wedding movie operator and editor. For example: I have created an Android app which let me control Vegas Pro rendering progress level on Android smartphone. I created it for fun, because I also love programming. I also created my own plugin for Audio To Text feature specified usage from Vegas Pro 19. I created proxy creation plugin which uses multiple GPU threads (maximum 3) to create proxy files for Vegas Pro. I also written many others plugin/softwares which enhance my video editing, also wedding editing.

It works the same as any other NVIDIA GPU minus full support for 10 bit AVC and HEVC decoding at the moment.

For improvements, it can be faster. See the benchmarks in my signature where I compares a 2080 Super to 5070.

Voukoder should be able to render any format the GPU supports.
