GPU and CPU for Vegas
I think I'll use a watercooler (NZXT X63) and an AMD video card. The 7000 series come with a huge amount of VRam, are smaller than NVidia's and don't need an adapter cable.

GPU and CPU for Vegas
RTX4080 with it's 16gig of VRAM would be a nice upgrade, but rtx3070 is also very nice and well suited to Vegas, except the 8GB of Vram, although even that depends on how complex your projects are. As I've been without a computer for some time, I made videos for a channel in 1080p, the time varied, but I think the file was close to 1 Gb on Youtube. For a 10 minute, 4K video, would it be nice to have a 16Gb GPU? For example, today a 4070 Ti costs much more than a 3080. The VRam difference is 4 Gb. Is there a big difference in performance in a rendering process?

Differences between Vegas Pro and Movie Studio Platinum
But isn't Vegas Pro also from Magix? The purchase of both is made on the same website - www.vegascreativesoftware.com. If the use is not so professional, is Movie Studio the most suitable?

What I know best is about vector editing programs (Corel) and photos (Photoshop). I just started doing video editing, so I confess that I'm still learning! The problem is what you said and attributed to the benchmarks is exactly what is expected from a reasonable person(given the limited information), you should not come to any other conclusion if Vegas worked properly with NVENC encoder via MagixAVC. In reality NVENC(MagixAVC) slows down your CPU and GPU from processing as fast as it can, and there's no reason anyone should be expected to know that, which is why the benchmark is flawed as far as a tool to work out what CPU and GPU works best with Vegas, A more accurate comparison could be made with Nvidia GPU's using voukoder for hardware encoding instead of MagixAVC, but that's going to confuse people, if there's no explanation, and also it would need to be tested to see if Intel and AMD GPU systems also speedup using Voukoder, the answer should be no, their results remain the same, it's only Nvidia systems that speed up with hardware rendering using Voukoder, Good CPU choice, and Nvidia is great for compatibility with other software, just not Vegas with MagixAVC/HEVC nor it's GPU DECODER, but you have the UHD770 so no problems there. As far as GPU processing though which is the main concern for many, Nvidia looks to be so similar to AMD you wouldn't buy AMD based on a performance increase but due to availability or pricing As I will not use it for games and the other software I use (Corel and Phothop) does not use the GPU, NVidia's advantage I think it is null.If I put them in numbers, in my country the RX 6900XT (16 GB VRAM) and RTX 3080 (8 GB VRAM) cost around USD 1,900.00, the 3080Ti USD 2,700.00 and the 3090 USD 3,570.00 (approximate conversion of values). Given the huge price difference, as the card's function is only for use in video editing (Vegas for sure and maybe DaVinci in the free version - which doesn't use GPU acceleration), which one is worth the most?

I just set up the computer but it's still standing there, serving as an ornament on the table. I still haven't received the LGA 1700 bracket to install the NZXT AIO WC (still in transit).I didn't buy the GPU, and once I turn it on I'll probably use it for a while without it (I'm going to use the built-in Intel UHD 770 graphics card).I didn't know this voukoder. When I finally turn on the PC I will test it.As for the GPU, I'll stay with NVidia.

Sorry for the time it took me to reply!As I understand it, people downloaded the same project from Vegas, rendered it, and posted the results that were compiled into this spreadsheet.From what's there, AMD's GPUs did better, and Intel's CPU did better. Interesting these results, since for example Premiere and DaVinci are more optimized for NVidia, and apparently Vegas is for AMD.

[RESOLVED] WILL FASTER GPU WITH MORE RAM HELP IN VEGAS PRO 18?
From what I understand the performance gain by the GPU has a limit - if you have an RTX 3060 the difference in rendering time compared to a 3090 will not be so big if we compare the cost-benefit ratio.Has anyone used the Quadro RTX 4000 - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/quadro/rtx-4000/ cards?Are they better suited than common game RTX for video editing?

Thank you all for your help! But what True-H wrote sums up well what I wanted to know and nobody knew how to answer. I want to build the setup specifically for photo and video editing, and not include games. For example, RAM memory. For games you don't need more than 16Gb (32Gb maybe for next gen games), but its latency influences a lot on the games FPS. High-speed, low-latency memory is much more expensive than same-speed, higher-latency memory.If you use DDR 5 with the new speeds, although latencies are very high (more than twice as high as DD4), will you get a better result that justifies the price difference or not?Xberk, for example, has a great setup, which is also good for 4k games at ultra quality if he wants to.I don't know how much would be the value of this setup in his country (USA I presume?), but here if I were to make a currency parity at 1x1, 1 USD for each BR Real, it would cost USD 30k for a PC like this. With the value of this PC it is possible to buy a car here (due to the US dollar parity).

Vegas Movie Studio (up to ver. 17)on 1/12/2021
Where do I find the Tracking Motion tool? NVIDIA or AMD video card?
@j-v, @Ricardo-Bacchin The first is about the tool that exists in Vegas Pro: Tracking Motion. It is very useful for scaling photos and videos I think the OP may be referring to Track Motion, not Motion Tracking. In which case, it is available in Movie Studio Platinum. I am using the basic version of Movie Studio and it does not have this tool. I will have to migrate to the Platinum version!

Rendering time - Help!
The notebook is new, it has no dust. I even opened it last week to exchange the HD for the SSD.It only has one fan, it will not hold. 4K rendering is processor intensive.

Vegas Pro Edit
I don't need to manipulate the audio a lot, but only make cuts, fade in and out, decrease or increase the volume ... @Ricardo-BacchinIf you don't need any more, you can also consider Vegas Movie Studio (Platinum).https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-movie-studio/?_oB=movie-studio-platinumIt looks practically the same, has a few (professional) functions less and you can also upgrade from there to Vegas Pro if you need more. Thanks! I just downloaded it and I'm going to test it. The workspace is very similar to Vegas Pro. If the ease of use is the same, it will be the one I will buy.

Vegas Pro Edit
I expressed myself badly. When I wrote about the functions, I actually meant the extras! Thanks a lot for the help!
