updated gpu drivers not always better

Just for the record,

I'm running VP19 on my humble system with the gtx1050. I used till yesterday driver 442 and all was basically fine. (I do just HD stuff)

Today I was adventures and installed 511 studio. It didn't take much to see the mistake , VP19 crashed like hell , even just loading a project or playback.

So... I installed 460 now, and so far everything is calm.

Yes, generally, the best rule to follow with VEGAS is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.". Only update drivers if you are having stability issues, or if it is reported that there is a definite performance gain.

Systems:

Desktop

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 16 thread at stock speed

64GB 3000mhz DDR4

Geforce RTX 3090

Windows 10

Laptop:

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 32GB (9980HK CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, dual 4K touch screens, main one OLED HDR)

I'm not sure how you picked driver versions, none of these are current. I also use the GTX 1050 and can recommend 522.30 Studio driver.

Sticking with very old drivers can break some functionality as software SDKs move on. Voukoder needs relatively recent ones for GPU encoding. There may be Vegas effects that also are built around a newer version that 460.
