New Nvidia driver allows 3 Nvenc instances

This was a bother to me, but probably not most of you. simultaneous Nvenc encoding was limited to 2 sessions, but with latest driver , 3 sessions. In my example. I have OBS nvenc encoder going constantly, Can have a batch file nvenc transcoder going for many days, occasional handbrake use, and occasional vegas Pro use. In my use scenarios. I ran out of Nvenc, so another session is helpful

The driver also allows the Tensor cores of RTX Nvidia cards to be used for Artificial intelligence noise reduction of live audio input with VST filters compatible with VegasPro to be available in the future.

@Former user by "latest" do you mean ver 442.92 of the studio driver, or... ?

It's GeForce 445.87 Game Ready Driver but it's literally 2 days old so probably should wait for studio driver as a guarantee of better stability.

This is a demonstration of the realtime RTX noise reduction

The Studio driver @michael-harrison mentions was released on April 16, 2020.

I didn't know Nvidia did it like that. putting out both drivers on the same date. I had thought the studio was a refined more stable version of game ready so it's features lagged behind game ready drivers. They look to have both gained the same RTX options, so if a bad driver, they'll both suffer.

Is that a new thing?

@Former user It all depends on their workload and planning. Given what I know about them from working with them for years, they probably were able to do driver testing on both versions at the same time. It may have been intended that they released both at roughly the same time.

New games driver seems to work fine. Utilises 80% CPU, 25% GPU and 50% ram during timeline preview 4K at best half setting.
