Hi. It depends on how you're using Vegas Pro. If you're working with CPU, it can still handle tasks smoothly, but for smoother video rendering, using the GPU is usually better.

Better can refer to many aspects.
It can mean quicker, improved performance, and reduced dimensions.

Faster performance will come from using the GPU on a standard system where it has a much stronger GPU than the CPU.

The issue with GPU-based encoding is that GPUs have limited capabilities. For identical quality, you'll usually encounter larger files than with a CPU-based encoder. I tested this on a 1080p Blu-Ray rip in Handbrake, and the x264 version was half the size of the NVENC one. Speed, quality, and file size are trade-offs.
