Question: Should Nvidia resurrect the RTX-2060 with 12GB of memory, would it render faster in Vegas Pro than the standard RTX-2060 6GB version?
No, as the NVENC chip is the same, but it would be able to handle more GPU accelerated effects and higher resolutions.
I recalled that you had said that the NVENC chips were the same but I didn't know if the extra memory would help the rendering speed.
Thanks
Probably not a speed advantage ordinarily but things like 8K, 32-bit HDR, etc. function better.
Doesn't direclty answer this question but here is a benchmark with a variety of CPUs and GPUs all rendering the same project in UHD and HD. You can get an idea for how the cards compare by looking at systems with similar CPUs. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/benchmarking-results-continued--118503/

It's really difficult to work out what is the optimum GPU for Vegas when thinking about value for money, the most performance per dollar .In other editors it's dead simple. you look at the GPU use. This is another editor trying to playback an 8K AV1, CPU use is fine, so is GPU decode, but it's really easy to see the problem, my GPU is not powerful enough to even playback the raw video without dropping frames let alone edit. Solution is probably an rtx3080
Vegas Pro is different, you can't look at GPU use in the same way it rarely is very high on playback or render, and yet a more powerful GPU will be faster then a weaker one there's plenty of benchmarks to show that, the strange thing with Vegas is that unlike the example shown here, the weaker GPU doesn't show as being overloaded. I don't really know how Vegas uses the GPU and why it's use is different to other editors and what optimum GPU for Vegas is (price per performance)
