The 4770k is the best cpu for encoding atm

Default rendersetting in Vegas Pro is "hardware if available" You can see it in taskmanager when you render. If the CPU is below 50% when rendering, its using the Nvidia card. |
Thanks for getting back to me on that. Looks like the drivers are updated now. I saw the "if available" option and it had my card filled it on the field so it obviously recognized. Just to verify, I turned it off and ran a test sample, which was only about 75% faster than real time. Turned it back on and it was the same 3 1/4x faster than real time, so glad to see the graphic acceleration is working. Only thing different is the CPU usage topped out at 92% Any idea why?
This makes me wonder, if I bought a 2nd one of these cards (and @ only $195, why not?), and went from 960 CUDA cores to 1920,
how much of a performance increase could I realize? I'm really curious now!
Yes, this i7 is the best qua core out there, though for $275 more, I could have had a hexa-core. Hmmmm . . .
