New Features
NVIDIA Control Panel Updated to version 8.1.950. Added new Developer->Manage GPU Performance Counters controls.
Video Codec SDK 9.0 (Released Feb 11, 2019) Included Features
• Supports NVENC/NVDEC on NVIDIA Turing GPUs
• NVENC API has been updated to support HEVC B-frames on Turing GPUs.
• NVENC API adds the capability to output the encoded bitstream, and motion vectors from Motion-Estimation-only mode to video memory. This avoids the overhead of copying the output from system to video memory for processing pipelines operating directly on video memory.
• NVENC API now accepts CUArray as an input buffer. The SDK contains a sample application to demonstrate how to feed Vulkan surface to NVENC using VulkanCUDA interop. More information: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
Optical Flow SDK 1.0 (Released Feb 11, 2019)
This is a new API for Optical Flow and stereo disparity hardware engine, available on Turing GPUs. More information: https://developer.nvidia.com/opticalflow-sdk
