PROBLEM SOLVED!

Wuhuu Quick Sync was working all the time, no problems with that whatsoever.
The Problem was simple to solve and had nothing to do with hardware configuration.
I had all my tracks over the other, but did not delete the videos below the one that is actually seen.

Vegas seems to take EVERY track and puts it into the render pipeline even if cannot be seen, because there is another video on top. I tought Vegas works like other Video editing software and just takes the first video and forgets about the others if the first on is on 100% Opacity.
I should have thought about that alot earlier. After I found this out I just cut away all video below the first one and BAM it renders pretty fast. I had left the tracks beneath because I wanted to change some cuts afterwards, now that I am confidend with my cut, there is no reason to let them stay there. It´s just another type of workflow and you have to do this by hand.

Before:

After:

But I am still a bit confused, what steps you actually need to take, if you want to enable Quick Sync. I really did too much, but I am not shure what I can deinstall and what not. So still: If anyone could put a bit of light to it, that would be very nice.

I hope this still helps other people that also do not think about this.

Cheers,

Julian

Hi again,
your idea is basically, building everything from the bottom up and test each individual step: Install the internal GPU driver->check if it really works…and so on. Am I understanding this right?

I just rendered my wanted project to wmv, which seems to be the fastest format for me with good quality and youtube combability. The Video is 5 minutes long and rendered in 3 hours. Not a practical workflow if you ask me. WMV is NOT is not using the GPU, I know this, correct me if I am wrong. Atleast there is no option with wmv to use GPU.

What I did afterwards is enabling IGPU in the BIOS/UEFI and installing Virtu MVP 2.0 to use my internal and external GPU at the same time. I don´t really get any performance boost from that nor does it seem to really enable Quick Sync. What I do notice is a 10%-20% increase in fps when I am gaming (Crysis 3 etc.). So the link does seem to work.

When I want to start Vegas when Virtu MVP is on, it won´t start and stops at “external surveillance” (translated from german). When I start Virtu MVP after I started Vegas, there is no problem.

What I can do next is load another program with what quick sync really should work. If it does there, then it´s a Vegas ressource problem, my ram is not even half full: 6/16 GB and my CPU is also sleeping at 40% workforce.

Cheers,
Julian
