I rendered a fairly large project, i.e. 1hr 58 mins on the timeline, consisting of 70+ mxf video clips and 20+ m2t video clips last night.
I used multiple extensive FX, (Vegas and NewBlue FX), clip animation, cropping, at least 40 mins where there are 2 or 3 concurrent video clips (PiP) using NewBlue FX PiP/Split screen plus Vegas cropping.
It took 2hrs to render to a 1440x1080 50i m2v file at 25Mbps, video quality set at high.
GPU utilisation varied between 40-90%, none of the 8 cores of my i7 during the time that I monitired it used more than 50% capacity, RAM utilisation remained around 5GB.
At this point in time I am a happy chappie, for my purposes it is working excellent.
