GeForce GTX 760 here.

No NVENC either.

Try updating your drivers. I was getting NVENC, but was not getting acceleration while editing, a driver update fixed it. Maybe it will in your case too.

Many thanks - I will upgrade my GPU - any recommendations?

Very difficult to say at the moment because Vegas is in a period of transition regarding GPU acceleration and forthcoming VP15 updates are likely to bring changes. I made a summary as I see it here. If you absolutely have to choose now then I would still go with AMD. The RX 4X0 series are proven in Vegas, but have disappointed some. RX 5X0 or even new Vega cards might work well but reports have been conflicting. Prices may still be inflated because of this "mining" thing. The GPU FAQ thread is still worth a read but now largely out of date with regard to VP15.

Thanks Nick, really helpful piece.

Maybe the new GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti (note the "Ti") it is much faster than a GTX 1080

Maybe the new GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti (note the "Ti") it is much faster than a GTX 1080

...but as it stands right now (build 177), likely to be slower for preview than cheaper AMD cards.

Indeed, for preview, I have not had the time to experiment, I just did some renders to see how fast it performs now. But if you use a lot of newblue plugins, would the plugin code's exe's /DLL's not use nvec regardless of opencl?

Hi, I have a GeForce 920m (GK208) but the option NVENC not appear to me.

I'm using latest drivers. Someone can help me?

I don't know if that card has NVENC, but did you allow GPU rendering in Vegas?

That option is for the old CUDA and OpenCL rendering in MC AVC and Sony AVC.

HI @Cornico and @OldSmoke, I have tested enabling this option but NVENC not appear.

The only change that this option enable is in old Sony render, enabling the dropdown with some options of render with CPU, GPU if available...

I understand you, however, how to explain that I can use NVENC outside Vegas?

I think the problem is in Vegas recognize the support present in that card, not the card has or not the support for NVENC (920m use Kepler architecture).

In meantime, I'm using the Intel QSV option, lol. :)

Maybe my eyes are old but I can't find the GK208 chip on Nvidia's support list.

Oh good to hear that, I'm getting really good results with QSV. Anyway, I'll keep investigating the problem, any news I post here.

@OldSmoke I think this list not have the GeForce ones, only quadro, grid and tesla.

Hi, I just bought Vegas Pro 15 because it promised Nvidia card support.

I have:

Core i5 8400

GTX 980 Ti

I can't find any NVENC template under MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4

I have 2 days figuring out how can I use my GPU to improve render times.

Please Help!
