NVIDIA VIDEO CODEC SDK DRIVER
NVIDIA Windows display driver 418.81 or newerĭirectX SDK (Windows only) CUDA 10.0 Toolkit NVIDIA Linux display driver 418.30 or newer NVDECODE API - NVIDIA Quadro, Tesla, GRID or GeForce products with Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal and Turing generation GPUs. NVENCODE API - NVIDIA Quadro, Tesla, GRID or GeForce products with Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal and Turing generation GPUs.
* Diagram represents support for the NVIDIA Turing GPU family GPU hardware accelerator engines for video decoding (referred to as NVDEC) and video encoding (referred to as NVENC) support faster than real-time video processing which makes them suitable to be used for transcoding applications, in addition to video playback. With decoding/encoding offloaded, the graphics engine and the CPU are free for other operations. NVIDIA GPUs contain one or more hardware-based decoder and encoder(s) (separate from the CUDA cores) which provides fully-accelerated hardware-based video decoding and encoding for several popular codecs.NVDECODE API for video decode acceleration (formerly called NVCUVID API).NVENCODE API for video encode acceleration.The SDK consists of two hardware acceleration interfaces: The Video Codec SDK includes a complete set of APIs, samples and documentation for hardware accelerated video encode and decode on Windows and Linux. NVIDIA GeForce Now is made possible by leveraging NVENC in the datacenter and streaming the result to end clients Quick Links: A comprehensive set of APIs for hardware accelerated video encode and decode on Windows and Linux.
