1. If you're editing AVC, first look here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/new-avc-issues-in-vp15-try-disabling-so4compoundplug-dll--108345/

2. Try setting Options > Preferences > GPU acceleration of video processing to "Intel HD Graphics".

I mean if you're editing AVC (which is the same as H.264) video then you should try disabling so4compoundplug.dll as explained in the link. If you are not sure what the format of footage on your timeline is, tell us how it was created (what camera or program), or post MediaInfo and Vegas Properties.

That is exactly when preview is likely to get worse (less smooth). My point 1 still applies if it's AVC source.

and it's better to put my GPU or my GTX in preference for vegas ?

An NVIDIA GTX graphics card IS a GPU. If you are asking whether it's better to use the integrated Intel HD graphics on your CPU, or your NVIDIA GTX graphics card, then just try it! You should update the driver for your GTX to the latest version. Note that support for Intel HD graphics in VP15 seems good, so you might find that is the better choice. But that might change as updates to VP15 are released, and NVIDIA might become the better choice.

and i have 16GO DDR4 what can i put in term of RAM on preview option

I have not changed this figure for many years. I leave it at default 200. But some other have success by setting it to zero. Others set it much higher. You should experiment with this setting after you have tried the other suggestions.
