I have found similar thread here with no clear info.įinally, newer Maxwell card (GM20x GPUs) will support hardware based HEVC encoding, is support planned with Wowza transcoder ? I have already try to contact Nvidia (chat : nothing, contact form : waiting, dev forum : similar post unanswered : ). If everything is hardware based, it may not be necessary to buy a powerful card, a Quadro K4000 may be equivalent to a Quadro K6000 for example.Īny one (may be Wowza transcoder dev) have some guidance or info regarding this matter? The price range is quite huge between the low end and the high end. There is a “lot” of Quadro or Tesla NVENC capable card. What is a low end Quadro (which is limited to 2 sessions see above)? How are we supposed to choose a card from Nvidia? I am unable to find precise information about NVENC performance capabilities of various Nvidia card and to what extend more memory or more CUDA core might improve transcoding job. Quote:” In order to support more number of simultaneous encoding sessions an extra NVENC had been added on certain variants of the second generation of Maxwell GPUs.”

It is clearly stated that some new hardware has two NVENC engines. Quote: “The NVENC engine’s performance is also independent of the graphics performance.” Quote: “By using dedicated hardware for the video encoding task, the GPU CUDA cores and/or the CPU are available for other compute-intensive tasks” from Source : page 7 Table 4 and page 12 Table 7.įrom my understanding, NVENC use a special engine on the card, a dedicated chip. Beware that mixing card will not work either (high end QUADRO + GeForce on the same system for example will limit you to 2 sessions!).
#Nvidia quadro k6000 driver
Like other people here, we have to choose a card for transcoding purpose.Ĭonsumer card will not work in fact it is more a driver limitation in my opinion.
