Nvidia drivers patch for Windows
This patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.
Requirements:
- Any of following 64bit operating systems:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
- NVENC-compatible GPU (https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix#Encoder)
- Nvidia driver. Patch available for versions in table below.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Download and install latest Nvidia driver supported by this patch.
- Download latest Win_1337_Apply_Patch tool.
- Save appropriate patch(es) from Version Table using direct link to the patch (Right Click -> Save as...). Alternatively you may checkout repo using git or download it as ZIP archive and then locate corresponding .1337 patch file in
windirectory. - Apply x64 library patch to corresponding file in
%WINDIR%\system32\with the Win_1337_Apply_Patch tool. File name of patched object is specified in first line of .1337 patch. If x86 (32 bit) library patch is also available, apply it to same file in%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\.
E.g, for 64bit Windows 10 running driver version 441.28 use win10_x64/441.28/nvencodeapi64.1337 against C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvencodeapi64.dll and win10_x64/441.28/nvencodeapi.1337 against C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\nvencodeapi.dll.
A video tutorial is also available. Credits to designator2009. (Covers older patches. Now we probably don't need to autorun executable if x86 library patch applied)
