GPU rendering is not working despite having an NVIDIA card and drivers

Can somebody help me figure out how to make sure GPU rendering is working properly without re-installing NVIDIA drivers and changing the setting in VEGAS. I followed the instructions by watching YouTube videos on how to enable CUDA or GPU acceleration but it still doesn't work.

My specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
OS: Windows 10 21H1 64-bit
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Video editing software: VEGAS 19 build 381

Try MagixAVC with a NVENC template.

One problem you may have is that your card is below the minimum for VP 19 (3GB ram, not 4GB). I don't know if it will work correctly or not. Your CPU also has QSV so you could try a QSV template. It's as fast.

Also, update VEGAS 19 to build 550, the most recent build. Make sure you are using Nvidia Studio drivers, not Game ready. Your GPU lacks the VRAM required as well, as mentioned above.

QSV provides superior quality if I remember right, and renders just as fast as NVENC, so I'd go with it. It supports more formats too.
