Hardware requirements for GPU based video decoding

If detection tools use GPU for video decoding (see Configuring detection tools), make sure the following hardware requirements are met:

1. For NVIDIA graphics cards:

   1. CUDA 11.1 − 11.4.

   2. Compute Capability 3.5 − 8.6.
      

      Attention!

      CUDA is compatible with generations of computers with the following architectures: Kepler (partially), Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere (partially) (see CUDA).

      Note

      You can check Compute Capability GPU version on the manufacturer's website.

      Attention!

      When using NVIDIA graphics cards, it is recommended to install the latest driver from the official website.

   3. Support for the required codec in NVDEC (see here).

      Attention!

      Video can be decoded on two NVIDIA GPUs at a time.

2. For the integrated Intel GPUs:

   1. 6th generation CPU or higher. 

   2. Support for the required codec in Quick Sync Video.
