I have several Vegas Pro versions on Steam and NVIDIA NVENC stopped working in drivers 591.
Now I'm curious if MAGIX will fix that on older versions or only on the most recent one. Currently I'm on Vegas Pro 21 and would be glad to not make an update because of the issue NVIDIA created. If it will not be fixed anytime soon, I'll shift to other apps.
I doubt it. It's an Nvidia problem... they renamed/removed a function of long standing from their api and it's breaking everyone's legacy software. They seem to be trying to be the tail that wags the dog.
Only practical options are to stick with older Nvidia hardware & drivers, get newer software (vp23 or some other vendor's latest & greatest), or switch to a gpu maker more committed to backward compatibility.
Fwiw, my older versions of Vegas, like vp21, work fine with the newest Intel gpus and igpus and their drivers. Vp23 is most optimized for Nvidia, however, and isn't totally broken with the newest Nvidia hardware and drivers. It just lacks hevc 422 decoding at the moment which Nvidia recently made available in it's latest 5000-series hardware. I pulled alternate gpus from my systems only a couple weeks ago but I'm thinking of putting them back in light of Nvidia's latest antics. It would be an easy fix for Nvidia so I'm going to wait a bit and see if they come to their senses with a driver update. And using the previous driver in the meantime.

My hopes for NVIDIA to fix the issue are extremely low, but I pushed them as much as I can at this point. NVIDIA replies on forums and reddit are exceptionally rude for both users and partners (developers).
I also have Ryzen 6800U laptop with Radeon 680M, which works exceptionally fast in any video editing app, Vegas 17, 18, and 21 included. Despite being an iGPU, consuming 20 times less power, it can cut 4K just fine.
But it seems that choosing RTX 50 for a new desktop was a mistake. Intel and Radeon are more reliable for video editing these days.

I 100% agree with you on that one.
