Optimized vs Non Optimized Models#
The following models are optimized using TRT and are available as pre-built, optimized engines on NGC. These optimized models are GPU specific and require a minimum GPU memory value as specified in the Optimized configuration sections of each model.
NVIDIA also provides generic model profiles that operate with any NVIDIA GPU (or set of GPUs) with sufficient memory capacity. These generic profiles are known as non-optimized configuration. On systems where there are no compatible optimized profiles, generic profiles are chosen automatically. Optimized profiles are preferred over generic profiles when available, but you can choose to deploy a generic profile on any system by following the steps in the Overriding Profile Selection section.

Software#
NVIDIA Driver#
Releases prior to 1.1.0 use Triton Inference Server 24.05. For Triton on NVIDIA driver support, refer to the Release Notes.
Release 1.1.0 uses Triton Inference Server 25.01. For Triton on NVIDIA driver support, refer to the Release Notes.
If issues arise when you start the NIM containers, run the following code to ensure that the latest NVIDIA drivers are installed.
