Hello, i am really pleased to report that after i changed a MSI GTX1080 with a Asus RTX2080Ti and rendering the same 1h 1440p project i can see a pretty steady 30-36% utilization of the GPU while on the last card i was barely keeping a 15% usage.

Also, the time to render decreased from a 55 minutes to a 45 minutes which is not much but noticeable.

Good work Vegas devs !

It's probably more an Nvidia thing... they increased the OpenCL performance on those RTX cards, so you're probably getting better results with your timeline rendering, which also speeds up the encoding process.

The 2080Ti is very pricey. Has anyone compared this to an AMD Vega 64?

Workstation C with $600 USD of upgrades in April, 2021
--$360 11700K @ 5.0ghz
--$200 ASRock W480 Creator (onboard 10G net, TB3, etc.)
Borrowed from my 9900K until prices drop:
--32GB of G.Skill DDR4 3200 ($100 on Black Friday...)
Reused from same Tower Case that housed the Xeon:
--Used VEGA 56 GPU ($200 on eBay before mining craze...)
--Noctua Cooler, 750W PSU, OS SSD, LSI RAID Controller, SATAs, etc.

Performs VERY close to my overclocked 9900K (below), but at stock settings with no tweaking...

--$500 9900K @ 5.0ghz
--$140 Corsair H150i liquid cooling with 360mm radiator (3 fans)
--$200 open box Asus Z390 WS (PLX chip manages 4/5 PCIe slots)
--$160 32GB of G.Skill DDR4 3000 (added another 32GB later...)
--$350 refurbished, but like-new Radeon Vega 64 LQ (liquid cooled)

RTX has more compute cores and more RAM, Vega has faster RAM... RTX may still prove faster in Vegas, but not double the price faster. If you're talking about gaming, the RTX smokes the Vega, but for video editing alone based on specs, you're not getting your money's worth to pick the RTX over the Vega.
