A set of Python/shell patch scripts that remove Nvidia's artificial restriction on the number of simultaneous NVENC encoding sessions on consumer GPUs, and enable NvFBC capture on those GPUs. It supports many driver versions on Linux and Windows.
Use cases
- remove nvenc session limit on consumer gpu
- run multiple simultaneous video encodes with ffmpeg
- enable nvfbc screen capture on geforce cards
- patch nvidia driver for unlimited encoding sessions
- use a gpu for a plex/jellyfin transcoding server without session limits
When to choose
- you need more than the 3-8 concurrent NVENC sessions Nvidia allows on consumer GPUs
- you want NvFBC-based capture on a GeForce card
- you run a media server or streaming setup on Linux or Windows with an Nvidia GPU
When to avoid
- you have a datacenter/professional GPU that already has unlimited sessions
- you cannot accept the legal/ToS and stability risks of patching proprietary drivers
- your driver version is not in the supported version table
