So I pretty much hate having to render gameplay videos on my main rig intel core i5 with a gtx 760 but due to having only 8 gigs of ram I pretty much can't use my system when rendering I always end up with about a 100 gameplay videos I never upload so today I got a good idea just turn my core 2 quad rig into a render machine since it has a ati radeon 7470 in it and can use open cl with sony vegas. While my main rig is reserved for gaming and more heavy edits done on my main rig with adobe after effects and premiere for the few times I have to use those programs which is not often. My first render is going at 40 mins for a 10 min video but I can probably speed that up since there is way to much free ram vegas is using under 500 mb ram. So I am going have to change that to use more ram in preferences.
Well apparently adobe premier just curb stomps sony vegas in resource use just not really a way to make vegas use more resources. Gonna see if I can get open cl working with primer.
AMD graphics card was a 7470 not a 5450 they look the same so i got the cards mixed up.
I'm not sure how much more RAM is going to help that machine it's still a C2D machine
proper render bitch right now sits at an 8320e + ASrock 970M
otherwise what you could do is just set a Core Afinity, so that sony vegas only uses 2 cores/threads on your CPU, and you could continue gaming as normal with the rest of them, also best off just upgrading the RAM in your main rig, or saving up for a Xeon 1231v3.
Wait this post is 18 days old? why did it show up at the top of latest? probably an edit.
