Hi. I have Sony Vegas 17 and I have question about graphics required. Now I Have old Gforce with 1GB. Intel Xeon I7 3,2 Ghz (8 cores), 12 GB Ram. I Bought extra 8 GB ram (is comming), and I'm thinking about new Gforce MSI GTX 960 Twin Frozr 4GB. To render UHD HDR Movies is recomendet Radeon Pro series with 8 GB  (VCE 3.0 or higer.) My question is: If I bought Gforce MSI GTX 960  Twin Frozr 4GB (I have good opportunity to buy it), do i can do render movie UHD with full HDR effects, like on Radeon Pro series with 8 GB. I known it will be slower ( I dont care) but I have profesional camera and I need to be sure, on the end, effects wil be without losse. Please help me make this decision. Regards.

Hi Mariusz.

The recommendations would be on the specs page for Vegas 17 but unfortunately this is not the website for Vegas products.

If you ever fancy switching to Movie Edit Pro or Video Pro X please come back to visit.
