You can try it out by switching off all the ones you have in Windows Device Manager.😉😊

Why do I need GPU if I'm not in a hurry?

Some features in Vegas require a GPU:

Deinterlace Method Smart adaptive, Edge Filling in Video Stabilization.

My GPU is always on in Vegas. Except for testing, I see no reason to turn them off, quite different with the dyn. RAM Preview.

Hurry is not good business, yes, but so is bad timeline performace.

It's not if I hurry or not. I'd prefer to have job done sooner than later. I do not like when computer is slower then me. I feel like I just wasting my tame sitting and waiting. With choppy preview it is harder to work on project and sync video with audio. Also, time is the most precious resource for me as a living thing.

If editing HEVC or H264, the GPU decoding can enable you to edit more/higher resolution streams with real time performance, and getting GPU acceleration for certain plugins can also help keep that preview frame rate high.

Sometimes it isn't so much being in a hurry, but needing to see an effect at full speed and full resolution to see if it works the way you'd hoped.

That said, it all comes down to your needs. If you're editing single camera home movies, a GPU probably won't be doing you as much good, but if editing 4k 10 bit multicam and using effects plugins along the way, you might do better with a beefy GPU.

64GB 3000mhz DDR4

That makes perfect sense to me. However, if you change the setting to "OFF" within the Vegas preferences, then is the CPU handling those same processing tasks instead of the GPU? I know GPUs tend to be more specialized and more efficient at processing graphics as its name would indicate but if you have a much more powerful CPU than GPU as is the case with my current system and the CPU can handle the additional overhead of processing the graphics, then does it just become a 6 of 1, or a 1/2 dozen the other difference?

I guess I'm confused what the true meaning of what the GPU acceleration of Video processing setting really does if it's turned on vs. off.
