H265 Fab speed up program

[b.laupert]

Cool,
so you're telling gtx980 n stuff ( GM200 & GM204 based) got full HW h.265 decoding support now?
Since when ?
How? (By driver upgrade)
In which OS?

Keep in mind GTX960 = GM206-300A1 with VP7 !
What was New with VP7 ???

The seventh generation PureVideo HD Edit
The seventh generation of PureVideo HD, introduced with the Geforce GTX 960 and also included in GTX 950, a second generation Maxwell (microarchitecture) GPU (GM206), adds full hardware-decode of HEVC Version 1 (Main and Main 10 profiles) to the GPU's video-engine.

Previous Maxwell GPUs implemented HEVC playback using a hybrid decoding solution, which involved both the host-CPU and the GPU's GPGPU array. The hybrid implementation is significantly slower than the dedicated hardware in VP7's video-engine.

The seventh generation PureVideo HD is sometimes called "PureVideo HD 7" or "VP7", although this is not an official Nvidia designation. This generation of PureVideo HD corresponds to Nvidia Feature Set F (or "VDPAU Feature Set F").

Or is this wrong ?
Please advise (with your sources)!
Thanks.

Those threads are 11 months old and a lot has changed even if that was true.

Even if what you say was still true, it also uses DirectX (DXVA2)

So Nvidia changes the VP6 to VP7 by drivers ??

Anyway ... We should care about ENcoding
Thats the important stuff!

In article you post it even say that it support Feature set D and E that include 980GTX, other things dont have anything to do with what you are talking about, DVDFAB can use Maxwell architecture , I not know easy way to explain NVENC to you. Even some old 700 series support Maxwell. DVXA2 is just as fast as any of these. What you try and do is not only GPU intensive, its also uses CPU power. The program does what you are looking with your 960GTX, maybe not as fast as 980GTX or 980Ti but fast enough. English not my first language and I cant explain like you want. Sorry.

Do you read this ( PureVideo occupies a considerable amount of a GPU's die surface and should not to be confused with Nvidia NVENC.[1] I hope you understand that you are talking about 2 different things. PureVideo have nothing to do with what you want.

Agree! CPU is important too.
I think we argue arround the initial topic.
The VP7 F cards "only" support the native full HW acceleration by GPU for h.256 DEcode.
Saving dramatic CPU resources!

The GM200&204 take a big part oft the CPU for this!

The ENcoding is done by all of the GTX9xx series flawless!

So next question is: how to enable ANY kind of HW accel. H.265 encode inside the FAB?

Cheers.

Do you have latest drivers? The API is in driver package, Fab read API and in turn give it your chores. H265 is the future of what you are talking about and no program do it better than Fab. DVDFAB will recognize if API is present, the only time you to install a driver is with Quick Sync, not as fast as NVENC, you cant even use the full power of the card until they make movies with 4K and 5K , so you are chasing the dragon. Never catch.

The 960 is already tested.
