GPU Decoding Specifications
Support for GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) decoding is added to lower the CPU loading
and to increase the total frame rate supported by a GV-System. GPU decoding only supports
the following software and hardware specifications:
For H.264 video compression,
On-board VGA: GPU decoding is only supported when using the following Intel chipsets:
 2
nd
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Sandy Bridge)
 3
rd
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Ivy Bridge)
 4
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Haswell / Haswell Refresh)
 6
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Skylake)
For H.265 video compression,
On-board VGA: GPU decoding is only supported when using the following Intel chipsets:
 6
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Skylake)
Note:
1. If you have both on-board VGA and external VGA installed, the on-board VGA must be
connected to a monitor for H.264 / H.265 GPU decoding.
2. You can install multiple external graphics cards if needed.
