So I've recently bought a new graphics card from OCUK (woo!)

-> MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB GDDR5

While I am no doubt happy about the performance of this, moving up from a GTX 460 1GB. I just can't render as I used to with this new graphics card. Part of why I bought this was to help improve rendering times. I mainly use Sony Vegas Pro 11.

My main issue is that I'm unable to render with the aid of the graphics card. Exact same settings (using either "MainConcept AVC/AAC mp4" or "Sony AVC/MVC mp4") I'm just not able to render anything, without selecting "rendering using CPU only"

The error I get:

Help? Please? :(

What AMD drivers you using? I had this with old drivers 12.4 I think. And this was fixed for me with 12.8 drivers again I think lol
Anyway update to the latest 12.10 or 12.11 beta and test again.
 
I've tried 12.10, then moved to the 12.11 beta so see if it still had the issue, which it did.
I'll scrap the drivers and try installing 12.8, will reply back with the outcome =/

Thanks.
 
I've tried the 12.8 drivers, that was a no go.

I might have to have a look at Vegas 12 then if that's the case. Just got no time to be doing that today. Hopefully tomorrow at some point.

After re-thinking this, Am now sure it wasn't drivers that fixed it for me. Vegas 11 is buggered and installing Vegas 12 fixed it.

Well I've got Vegas 12 installed now, tried rendering with the same settings. The bugger still doesn't want to use the card to render, just sticks to the CPU. Regardless of whether I've changed the option to use OpenCL/CUDA/GPU.

It might be due to the clock speeds automatically down clocking themselves.

I have the same card, bought recently and i have had some problems myself, you can find my posts in the graphics card section.

Well I've noticed there's some activity whilst say watching YouTube videos, playing games, recording using Fraps etc. But when rendering a video, I shouldn't really get this sort of error coming up =/
 
These are the settings I've used way before when I had my GTX460.

They render when moving to Vegas 12. But it really shouldn't be taking this long. Might just have to accept that money has gone into this graphics card and only being half useful.

Maybe it's just me being picky, I don't know.
