# GPU problem/replacement ? For Lightroom and Vegas

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-11-24)

I use both Sony Vegas Pro and Adobe Lightroom.
In my new computer is an Asus Strix GTX980 GPU card.

In Lightroom: I had to disable GPU acceleration
In Vegas: I have crashes as soon as the preview windows is resized of plays video. Even with GPU acceleration disabled. (Rendering works fine but I cannot work the video that way.

From what I read, there may be something wrong with applications support of Nvidia GTX9xx .
Maybe I can exchange the GPU for another.

Do you know if that GPU may be the problem ?
What GPU in the same price range would you recommend (with 3 screens in mind, 2x4K and 1xFullHD).
Should I go AMD?

Thank you for you help.

The problem happened again. Solution this time. It might look like a random thing but I've done it multiple times and tested alternatives.

(There was no driver update this time.)

1. Start Vegas with a blank projet.
