Probably it would be much more helpful to upstream their efforts there. Like this, it's just marketing bullshit...

"CV-CUDA accelerates AI special effects such as relighting, reposing, blurring backgrounds and super resolution."
I presume their "10x performance improvement" is probably relative to doing the same things via OpenCV, because it wasn't really architected to prioritize performance -- especially on GPUs.

Originally posted by Developer12 View PostNo doubt they're trotting this out now, so far before actual release, to distract people from EVGA leaving.
Nvidia is a big company and they have lots of people working on various software projects. They're doing projects like this fairly often, but you probably don't happen to pay much attention to that. You're just trying to correlate the last few things you heard about them in the news, which is a pretty poor heuristic for understanding the world. Especially considering this site has very uneven coverage of Nvidia and their activities.
Originally posted by Developer12 View PostI wonder if they've even implemented anything yet or if it's just a "quick! think of something!" idea.

If you are asking why nVidia didn't fork opencv instead of building a new tool then that's a good question and I don't have an answer to that. I'm merely saying that nVidia building a new library and making it open source is better then them building the same library but keeping it closed source.Last edited by pal666; 24 September 2022, 08:16 AM.
