I received (yet another) promo email from Magix. This one urged me to update/renew my 'subscription' because there were new features coming in the next release of MEP.

Any ideas as to what the new features are?

Started with MEP 11, then 17, then MX, then MEP 2013, 2015, then 2016. Changed to the fast competitor after that, which worked fine with my non-Intel hardware. Then bought a used Dell with an Intel GPU, just to play with MEP again. Installed MEP 2020 Plus in March 2020, even tho I don't like losing patches if I have to reinstall after a year.

Testing on a Dell Vostro, <s>i3-8100</s> updated to i5-9400 w/ UHD 630, 16 GB 2400 DDR4 (CL15), Win10 Home, heavily NTLite'd. Now with GTX-1650 Super OC'd. Added a WD Blue M.2 for OS (PCIe 3), Apps, Temps and Video-In. 2 Monitors. A WD Blue SSD for outputs. (SATA III.)

Hi Mike

Like you we can only guess - sometimes MEP gets what VPX has already had at least one or more versions earlier.

Tnx. Yeah, I've noticed that trend.

Aside from HW Acc using nVidia GPU, there's no other feature that would get me to (pay for an) update.

Hi Mike.

HW Acc using nVidia GPU

Er no, not quite! HWA requires an intel CPU with integrated GPU. The suggested nVidia or AMD cards can offer some boost in other areas but not in HWA.
