Best version for Windows 7 ?

[jpsdr]

Hello.

If it's not in the proper thread, put this on his proper place, but as it's not finaly a bug, i didn't know where to put it other than here.

According your spec information, NV6 is Windows7 compatible.
The last working driver for NVidia under Windows7 is 474.11, and the last avaible is 475.14 (but for me, all drivers after 474.11 never worked).
My graphic card is GTX 1060.
The compute capability is 6.1, higher than 5.0.
According NVidia, Windows drivers above 441.22 have at least CUDA 10.2, so higher than CUDA 9.
So my system mets perfectly the minimum requirements from your page.

Nevertheless, when i started NV6, i had a warning asking me to update driver to a 5xx (i don't remember the exact number) because there could be stability issues.
That's, off course not possible, such a driver doesn't exist under Windows 7 !

I'm wondering why such a warning when i met all the requirements ?

And is it better to fall back to NV5 under Windows 7, or is NV6 nevertheless still safe ? Or is NV6 finaly not Windows 7 compatible, even if in the first time you've said it was ?

According to our tests, NVIDIA drivers older than 535.98 have limited support for VRAM virtualization into RAM. As a result, when multiple GPU users (such as a video editing application, the operating system, Neat Video and other plug-ins) compete for VRAM and request more than the total amount of VRAM available on the GPU, such an old GPU driver reports an error, while newer drivers "swap" VRAM into RAM. The latter results in slower operation and gives GPU users a chance to recover by adjusting their memory usage, while the former may cause render to fail. For this reason, Neat Video 6 warns its user when it detects that an old version of NVIDIA driver is installed.

This is a warning only. You can still use GPU acceleration in Neat Video 6. If GPU memory errors do occur, then you will need to find a way to manually decrease VRAM usage. One of the ways to do that is to switch Neat Video into the Manual mode and adjust its GPU memory settings.

Generally, we still recommend to use Neat Video 6 over Neat Video 5 in this situation.

Thank you.

Thanks for the information.
You said "Multiple GPU user", so, when you have only one GPU card, this issue shouldn't happen ?

Please read "multiple GPU users (such as a video editing application, the operating system, Neat Video and other plug-ins)"
as
"multiple software elements (such as a video editing application, the operating system, Neat Video and other plug-ins) that use the same GPU".

Ok, thanks for these informations.
