Ok someone shed some light. I spent £1.8k on my build.

I7 5820k
64gb 2133mhz ram
R9 290x 8gb vapor x gpu
As rock x99 extreme4
1tb samsung evo 850 ssd
500gb samsung evo 850
250gb Kingston ssd
3tb 7200rpm hdd
2tb 7200rpm hdd

But sony vegas STILL lags and stutters when I go through a layered and complex timeline at BEST - FULL preview window settings.

I over clocked all the way upto 4.4ghz from 3.3ghz via optimised OC in Bios and it makes no diffrence in Sony Vegas 12.

I also tried the 5960x cpu. Again makes no difference.

Is it too much to ask for a completely lag free editing experience!?

If I had known I would of stuck to my i7 3770k and continued editing at best settings - auto as there was no lag.

I don't care about rendering speeds as that can be done while I'm asleep or out of the office. But the editing experience has to be lag free so I can be creative.

I don't use Vegas but I don't believe 12 can use the newer architecture in your 290x. I thought it was limited to hd6000 series at best but I could be mistaken. Or there might be a patch for it by now.

edit - I found This thread Perhaps it will help but I dont know how much with a Best Quality full preview. I would myself use draft quality for best speeds until i wanted to look at fine details to see how they turned out.

Vegas is a crappy software, sold at overprice. They didn't update the GPU encoder (Main Concept) since they bought the software in 2010, so it won't work with your new ATI card, only with 5xxx or 6xxx series. They don't use the integrated decoder/encoder in the newest video cards. And now Sony have sold Vegas... good luck with that.

I have switched a long time ago to Cyberlink's PowerDirector because of that.
