Vegas 23, 2 machines, both have problems with some functionality

With my AMD MAX 395+ machine, AI functionality is CPU only, as NPU is never used. I was under the impression this supported NPU's for inference. Problem gets worse with a 5090 RTX card on my other PC, where the masking is messed up (smart Mask 2.0) at high quality, it seems very unstable and unusable, similar to how others described elsewhere on this forum, when is this expected to be fixed and will NPU support be added?

From Vegas Pro 23's product website, NPU is supported in ARM platform computers - https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/whats-new/

Windows on ARM ready

All the same powerful VEGAS Pro features on the ARM platform to natively leverage the power of NPU.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if NPU support will be extended beyond ARM because other than the occasional comment on the forum by a Vegas staff member forum members and moderators are not Vegas staff.

In ARM systems on a chip, GPU performance is still quite weak.

Compared to an Nvidia RTX 5090, the NPUs achieve approximately 50 TOPs. The RTX 5090 achieves 3350 TOPs.

The new NPUs on upcoming CPUs are expected to achieve around 90 TOPs.

It would be better if Magix first optimized AI performance for GPUs on Windows x86 systems.
