All NVIDIA GPUs starting with the Kepler generation support fully accelerated hardware video encoding, and all GPUs starting with the Fermi generation support fully accelerated hardware video decoding through the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK. The NVIDIA NVENC presets design in Video Codec SDK 9.1 and earlier evolved based on various NVENC use cases, which have emerged over time.
]]>Support for accelerated hardware video encoding began with the Kepler generation of NVIDIA GPUs, and all GPUs since the Fermi generation support hardware video acceleration decoding through the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK. While showing great performance and flexibility, it requires knowledge of C/C++. Another option is to use third party libraries and applications like FFmpeg or GStreamer which…
]]>All NVIDIA GPUs starting with the Kepler generation support fully-accelerated hardware video encoding, and all GPUs starting with Fermi generation support fully-accelerated hardware video decoding. As of July 2019 Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta and Turing generation GPUs support hardware encoding, and Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta and Turing generation GPUs support hardware decoding.
]]>All NVIDIA GPUs starting with Kepler support fully-accelerated hardware video encoding; GPUs starting with Fermi support fully-accelerated hardware video decoding. The recently released Turing hardware delivered Tensor Cores and better machine learning performance, but the new GPU also incorporated new multimedia features such as an improved NVENC unit to deliver better compression and image…
