GPU support

Video Insight software supports Nvidia graphics cards. Additionally, Intel QSV is supported for displaying video within VI MonitorPlus.

The following GPUs are currently supported:

Intel GPUs	Nvidia Graphics Cards

Intel GPUs	Nvidia Graphics Cards
Intel QSV Intel HD Graphics, 3rd or later generation Intel Core processor-based platforms	EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB EVGA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 2GB EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
For On-board H.265 support, Intel HD Graphics 4th generation processor or higher is recommended.	For hardware decoding with an additional graphics processor, the Nvidia EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB card is the minimum recommendation.

Only one GPU is used for hardware decoding with IP Server. If two properly installed GPUs are detected by the operating system, IP Server will only use one.

Activating Intel QSV

If a graphics card is installed in addition to the On-board Intel graphics card, the primary display will be used as hardware decoding. If Intel QSV is used as the primary GPU, please make sure BIOS setting has been configured properly to use this specific GPU.

If the additional graphics card is set as the primary display, change the On-board Intel graphics card to primary by connecting it to the monitor. Check the Intel Download center for the correct On-board Intel graphics card driver.

After the above is configured, VI MonitorPlus will detect the On-board Intel graphics card, verifying that the card supports automatic hardware acceleration and use when available.

If both Intel GPU and Nvidia GPUs are available, VI MonitorPlus will use the fastest one by default.
