Get eGPU working with Vegas 22 pro
I realize this is going to be a kind of niche problem but here goes. I use a laptop for video editing that has integrated intel graphics so I decided to add an eGPU especially for rendering. For some reason I am realizing little or no gains in performance. The eGPU is a Sonnet Breakaway 750 EX with a GeForce RTX 4060 and the laptop has a Thunderbolt 4 input.
Computer specs:
Device name XXXXXX
Processor 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-13700H 1.70 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)
Hard drive 2 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Graphics (integrated) Intel® Iris® Xᵉ Graphics
Ports 1 USB Type-A 10Gbps signaling rate (HP Sleep and Charge); 2 USB Type-A 10Gbps signaling rate; 2 Thunderbolt™ 4 with USB Type-C® 40Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge); 1 HDMI 2.1
3 different renders, the first with GPU acceleration off, 2nd with integrated Intel graphics on, and 3rd (Optimal) with NVIDIA enabled. ALL were close but Intel showed slightly better results. Problem I have is how low GPU encoding is utilized (my reason for this setup!) which shows in attached pics.
Render as is MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 that matches video settings
Example video file is 25:34 in length with this info and video projects were set to match:
