My free version of 12.5 (just installed it today) shows both my video cards. But true, I am not sure if it will use both of them… One says “GUI Only).

Or time to downgrade. Try one of the GTX4xx or GTX5xx series nVidia or, if you want to switch to AMD, HD5xxx or HD6xxx series.
Vegas can’t use properly anything newer than that with MainConcept encoders.

Every conversion you make is damaging the video quality. If you started with GoPro Hero 4 AVC 2704×1520, 4:2:0, 60Mbps 8-bit 50fps Progressive, why do you want to go 4:2:2 and 50i??? The missing color samples from 4:2:0 will not appear by magic and 50p has better overall resolution than 50i.
Also, youtube will re-convert everything again to their internal format:

[Mike Kerr] “I’m not spending $100+ to perform a test…”
Well… you could first sell your video card on eBay and make those $100.
Although, I wonder… you paid $600 for the editing software and you have no extra $100 for a video card?

This is getting to offtopic.
Your information is dated, probably pre-2012. Read more about OpenCL and CUDA API’s. They are full blown computing environments, no different that x86 CPU ones, just running on a different processor.

[Stephen Mann] “There’s nothing in the GPU API that tells it how to do simple computing, like 1+1.”
You are horrible wrong. The present day GPU’s are actually full feature CPU’s, with massively parallel cores. They can be programmed in C++ like any CPU, do floating point calculations single or dual precision, used in heavy scientific work…
They are even the base of several of the top supercomputers (nVidia Tesla, AMD).

Well, CPUZ doesn’t show utilization.
I use for that Windows’ “Resource Monitor” – it shows CPU, memory, HDD utilization and combined with GPU-Z can pinpoint to the system bottleneck. Type in the Search field: Resource Monitor

You can use GPU-Z utility to monitor the GPU usage in real time.

[John Rofrano] “You might want to test with my Vegas Pro 12.0 GPU Render Test Project.”
I was curious. “Render as” with MainConcept AVC 720P profile, because is the only one that finds my GPU. Sony AVC profile cannot even find this new GPU.

With my 6 core Xeon X5650 it took 24 seconds.
With CUDA enabled (on GTX960) it took 10 seconds – however I know that h264 encoding part will not be accelerated by this card, only the effects.

[Bob Peterson] “Why would someone choose their video editor based on GPU support?”
Because time on Earth is the only thing that you cannot buy, therefore is the most important asset we have?

If you don’t care how you spend this time and like to look at a computer screen waiting for rendering bar to fill… more power to you!
