Get Started on Windows

The Audio Effects SDK requires specific GPUs, a specific version of the Windows OS, and other software dependencies.

The Audio Effects SDK is designed and optimized for client-side application integration and for local deployment. We do not officially support the testing, experimentation, or deployment of this SDK in a datacenter or cloud environment.

Hardware Requirements

The Audio Effects SDK is supported on NVIDIA GPUs with Tensor Cores.

Software Requirements

The NVIDIA CUDA® and TensorRT™ dependencies are bundled with the SDK Installer. (See Install the AFX SDK.)

Software	Required Version
Windows OS	64-bit Windows 10
Microsoft Visual Studio	2017 (MSVC15.0) or later
CMake	3.9 or later
NVIDIA Graphics Driver for Windows	572.61 or later

Note

All libraries that are required to use the SDK are in the package, under external, and do not need to be separately installed.
