I been told that adding one more GPU dont do much difference when working on 1 file, better to work on 2 file simultaneously ? in Video pro.

how dose using ANQ-L336 Mini eGPU Enclosure 40Gbps Thunderbolt3/4 USB4 for a extarnal GPU work ?

what would be the % gain in bulding a system with 2 GPU ? for 1 file 2 GPU and 2 files 2 GPU?

All results are within the margin of repeatability error from the previous version.

p.s. I just ran Starlight Precise on a 55 second, 1920 x 1080 cell phone video at 2.3 seconds per frame. Progress reporting is a bit messed up in that it briefly shows an initial estimate of how long it will take to complete, but then jumps to showing how many seconds of video remain to be processed.
