And arbitrary limitations implemented at the driver level to force you to purchase their enterprise GPUs, see https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch#nvenc-and-nvfbc-patches-for-nvidia-drivers https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch#nvenc-and-nvfbc-patc...
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more as of yet undiscovered limitations that they've added in that are just pure money grabs with no technical merit.
- duped 3y agoThey could bake this into the firmware as an opaque blob, no?
- rany_ 3y agoMaybe but given that this is implemented in the driver tells me that there might be some kind of issue with it being implemented on the GPU. I doubt they chose this less than optimal way of implementing such a limitation because they were simply being silly.
