Get Started on Windows

The Video Effects SDK requires specific NVIDIA GPUs and a specific version of the Windows operating system and other associated software on which the SDK depends. An external monitor is also required.

This 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 to a datacenter or cloud environment.

Hardware Requirements

The Video Effects SDK is supported on NVIDIA GPUs with Tensor Cores on the following Windows architectures:

• x64 systems with supported discrete NVIDIA GPUs based on the NVIDIA Turing™, NVIDIA Ampere™, NVIDIA Ada™, or NVIDIA Blackwell™ architecture.

• Windows on Arm (ARM64) systems with a supported iGPU such as RTX Spark.

Software Requirements

The SDK requires a specific version of Windows and other associated software on which the SDK depends. The NVIDIA CUDA® and inference runtime dependencies are bundled with the SDK: TensorRT™ for x64 and TensorRT-RTX for ARM64.
