    same way as they've neutered the Video Encoder on their non-quattro cards, to a maximum of 2 streamss at a time, and someone has made a patch for it? https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch
  • Nvidia has set a precedence that you no longer actually own your computer hardware.
    reddit.com/r/hardware | 2021-02-19
    Another example is limiting the number of simultaneous NVENC sessions, because "obviously" only enterprise GPUs should be allowed the unlimited number of sessions. Luckily someone is maintaining a workaround for that too.

    You only need a group of people to reverse engineer the driver and then package the patch into something user friendly. Look at this for example. It's a driver patch so you can have more NVENC encoding streams. Not terribly uncommon for people who self-host things like Plex and run this patch.

    You remeber rightly, but like all artificial restrictions people who care can get around them:

    You're wrong though, look at this driver patch which unlocks transcoding multiple streams on consumer grade GPUs so they have same capability as Quadro. Been using this for years.
