Intel i9 9900K processor review using Vegas Pro
I just loaded a 5 minute clip to render in Magix AVC at 1080P 29.97 Thee are only cross fade transitions and one swish pan. One line No titles or extreme FX. Why should this take 1 hour and twenty minutes to render? Vegas 16 build 307 using 11 1080 AVCHD files That is a very old processor. You're going to need to upgrade that a bit if you want better rendering times with 1080p media. You should invest in a good GPU if you really want to speed things up, though when pairing it with a CPU that old, it might be best to just invest in a new system. Many of the Intel CPUs come with built in hardware acceleration for encoding that Vegas supports, that's something to consider. If you upgrade, I'd recommend at least 16GB RAM as well. Yes, I realize there is a need for an upgrade to the processor. It just seems with every software upgrade that you need a hardware upgrade of one thing or another. Might as well just go in debt for a workstation dedicated to video only. I put a lot into this machine over the years and it handles most things pretty well. I believe there is 16 gigs of ram in it already so apparently there might be another issue

VEGAS Pro 16 Update 2 (build 307) - General Discussion
Well, I bit the bullet, downloaded and installed Vegas Pro 16 Edit. So far 3 attempts to edit some simple AVCHD footage with a split and a clock wipe and 3 crashes. The disappointment is real.....Something like this has never happened with any version of Vegas until today

So my question after reading all of this would be, "Do I upgrade or not?" It seems there are a plethora of issues I can look forward to.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
I feel the need to upgrade my video card. I have a GTX460 that is getting some time on it. I'd like to know if my system is up to specs to replace and upgrade. There was a test of sorts that showed your system and its configuration but I fail to remember what it was. I have upgraded to an SSD and windows 10 as my boot drive with a 750 GB hard drive for storage that is not showing up in my device manager which leads me to question where it went. It appears that I have most everything. Puzzled.

VEGAS Pro 15 build 177 General Discussion
I feel like Rip Van Winkle where I slept for a year and a half and woke up to a strange new world. A world where I have to spend more money for a program I just spent too much money for. To go with it I'll have to spend more money for the upgrades in equipment that the program was upgraded for. New computers with faster GPU's. $2000 cameras and who know what will work and what won't until I have to bite the bullet on all of this. I'm going back to sleep.....

I'm still at indecision. I've been reading a lot and as usual am amazed at all the choices good, bad, or indifferent. Information overload.

I do appreciate all of the comments. I have a 9 year old desktop that has been updated and modified over the years. Just about everything has been changed, but the way this technology moves along it is impossible to just go and get the flavor of the day and see if it is what we have been hoping for. What works for some just isn't enough or don't work for others. I keep looking at the specs and they all look the same except for the brand names. You would think that it all works. Why it shouldn't or don't I'll never know.

I understand that, but it is essentially a desktop in laptop form from what I reviewed.

Here is one I am looking at within my price range that appears to have everything I might need to accomplish my tasks. Any input on this would be appreciated. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1304024-REG/asus_gl753vd_ds71_17_3_republic_of_gamers.html

I checked it out Red Prince. It is a top end machine for sure. However, it looks like it is geared more toward gaming with a lot of bells and whistles in the price that might not be needed.

Yes, I have been shooting with a Panasonic GH4 in 4K and rendering to 1080. It is a bit of a bear on my system now which is getting some age. I was thinking of a laptop for awhile for space and convenience and using my system now for the storage and photo editing RAW images..

Thanks for the input. As with most things these days there are more questions than answers. I just need to get the proper footing before I make what looks to be a pricey decision.

Video Card and Gigabyte motherboard issues
Thanks Wayne. This was very informative. I am going to get the second 4GB of DDR3 and that will put it back to the 8 that it had before. I had just recently upgraded to an SSD and Windows 10 before experiencing the motherboard problem. The tech who put it in also told me that in combination with the on board hard drive may have caused the problem. The on board is now an "external" storage drive. The CPU is also somewhat faster according to him. I don't know what this new board will accept, but that could be an upgrade, also The machine does fly right along with most things and the rendering appears to be better depending on the content of the timeline. At some point I would like to upgrade to a more up to snuff video card. I have been looking at some of the recommendations mentioned here and will make the move as soon as I am able. Again I thank you for the help and as to all I wish you a happy New Year.

Can someone answer my memory question in this thread. I know it helps in Building Dynamic Ram so I am assuming it would help the processing overall?

Yep, that did the trick, WayneW. Made a little card support from a plastic cymbal protector and the machine is standing as it should without any glitches. Now to catch up to some projects.. Thanks much.

Video Card and Gigabyte motherboard issues
Thanks Wayne, I'll give that remedy a try. I really appreciate the help. I was counting the ways to maybe get another card if I didn't beat the issue. i am going to purchase more RAM. Are you saying to keep the 2gb stick or replace it? Also, would adding more memory improve the rendering time since I now have a board that can handle it? Thanks again

Video Card and Gigabyte motherboard issues
Well, I found the drivers and installed them. The computer worked as it should on its side, but when standing the computer in the upright position the glitches, funky screens, and hair pulling returned. Shut it down, laid it on its side and it was fine again. It has me puzzled to say the least. The only thing I can think of is maybe a stress issue on the connections within the card. Scratching my head on this one

Thanks, I have to look and see if I have the last driver in my back up drive. I did have trouble with updated drivers before.. That would be a plus for sure.
