.....I guess this is excluding those having issues with Nvidia card drivers.....
It seems like fake news. When vegas updates 4 times a year, and then users here say 'do you have latest drivers???????" , it's almost never related to drivers but it's a bug in vegasPro. You need to update your drivers when a new release comes out based on the current drivers at the time, but believing the vegas pro version released 3 months ago will somehow benefit from a a new driver update is usually just silly.
That conjecture notwithstanding, I did have that exact situation with VP 17. It was increasingly unstable for me in spring 2020 (I was just doing simple color tests on Sony AVC files) and I ended up having to disable GPU acceleration. While I waited for the next patch I jumped over to the studio drivers as was recommended. I expected nothing but my crashes/hangs went away. I was also having issues with Resolve at the time. Release notes from last spring listed a bunch of fixes for Resolve, Premiere and other non-gaming applications.
Will you get a big improvement if you are an update or two behind on the studio driver? Probably not. Will you see one if you're still on a year-old gaming driver or OEM driver? Very possibly, which is why I recommend it to people here and on the FB forums. Sometimes it solves their problem as it did mine.
Other bugs are 100% a problem with Vegas and Nick has a list of some of them.
@j-v sorry, I was not specifically point to Resolve, but the wording in the Applications part saying the Studio drivers provide optimum support for the latest creative applications..... meaning, is it the Studio drivers or the creative applications, or both that make the support of the Nvidia hardware necessary.
It helps with hardware and software at Vegas Video options and Vegas renderoptions
Today, Techgage posted a review of Big Navi 6xxx vs. Nvidia 3xxx for games & posted in their forum that they plan to provide Content Creation benchmarks ASAP...

They are one of the FEW places to find Vegas benchmarks, so hopefully we'll see those soon... I had a good year because, due to COVID, my clients had more time to sort through the work they wanted to send me... But I can't upgrade if I can't find the parts in stock....

With programming, you can do things by the book, legally and you have most compatibility with new hardware, but it's also possible to take short cuts and not follow recommended procedure, might be for efficiency. If you follow the framework legally cuda/OpenCL/Metal there should be compatibility but future driver releases can improve speed.
VegasPro15 as an example worked with 20 series Nvidia cards even though when released 20 series didn't yet exist. 20 series have an entirely new Hardware decoder and encoder, they have added abilities such as not requiring the GPU's compute to do encoding where it once needed, so Vegas18 not being compatible with 30 series Nvidia comes as a shock. I don't even think Nvenc was upgraded
Rob at Techgage said once they iron out the hardware issues with their test server, they will get back to testing and include Vegas.
I look forward to this, as everyone else looking to see what the new hardware will bring.

That is great news. Their benchmarks are quite comprehensive and a great way to see card performance for a number of tasks in Vegas. I look forward to it as well.
Hello. So my new RTX3060 will also not work with Vegas 17 Pro. I did it all I deinstalled al old divers from my RX470 and restarted Vegas 17 and so on. The RTX3060 is soooo slow and only at 50%
While my good old RX470 is at 100% and Performance is 2x faster. Playback is also better.
I also tested Vegas 19 and it was like 10 seconds faster
Vegas 17 RTX3060 3:35
Vegas 19 RTX3060 3:25
Vegas 17 RX470 1:17
This is sooooooo frustrating.
I will return my RTX3060 12GB
big update
vegas 17 does not support rtx3060 12GB cards
my rx470 8GB is 25% faster and on 100% usage
rtx3060 12gb is like 30% usage.
i tested every setting possible drivers etc. vegas 17 will not work with new rtx30xx cards

Is this render time with this benchmark? If so your Vegas 19 number is also not normal. Did you reset Vegas 19 before testing? There are no NVENC benchmarks worse than 3 minutes. The slowest one is my laptop with a GTX 1050. Something is wrong with the system/configuration or GPU.
Watch task manager/performance as with a time like that I don't think it is actually using the GPU to encode.
i have vegas 17, but i can see now that vegas 19 supports rtx3060. i think i go then with vegas 19
@Paul-Jonack ... Maybe try the trial version of Vegas Pro 19 first just to make sure that it works well with your RTX3060. Vegas Pro 19 will not override Vegas Pro 17 - all versions of Vegas Pro can happily exist on the same computer at the same time - I've got VP 16, 17, 18 & 19 installed on my desktop. And the upgrade cost of moving up to Vegas Pro 19 is a fraction of the cost of many GPUs these days.

You (may) need to have another device to test the trial version again.
Oops.

@Paul-Jonack Be careful how much you read into that, i would be 14th on the benchmark spreadsheet with render times of 0.43secs, my specs are my Signature, whether it's my RTX3090 SUPRIM +/or AMD CPU i don't know but my time is in line with the other RTX's
& avg fps playback on region 1 is about 13fps, a long way down the list
do the trial of V19 first.
I had the Trial Version, rtx3060 was a bit faster. Now I tried again to download the Trial 19 Version. Could not install it due to Windows Install Manager fail something.... Very annoing
As I implied above, you can have a legit trial on another computer.

yes thank you, i dont have another pc with a rtx3060 and same parts as my editing machine
