Nvidia drivers patch for Windows

GitHub last commit Latest GeForce version Latest Quadro version

This patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.

Also there is available NvFBC wrapper which allows to use NvFBC on consumer-grade GPUs. See nvfbcwrp directory for details.

Requirements:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Download and install latest Nvidia driver supported by this patch.
  2. Download latest Win_1337_Apply_Patch tool.
  3. Save patch(es) corresponding to your system, driver and product version from Version Table using direct link to the patch (Right Click -> Save as...).
    • Alternatively you may checkout repo using git or download it as ZIP archive and then locate corresponding .1337 patch file in win directory.
  4. Apply x64 library patch to corresponding file in %WINDIR%\system32\ with the Win_1337_Apply_Patch tool.
    • If patching fails, close all applications using nvencodeapi64.dll, such as OBS Studio or Plex.
  5. Apply x86 library patch to corresponding file in %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\ in the same way as previous one.
    • If patching fails, close all applications using nvencodeapi.dll, such as OBS Studio or Plex.

Example: for 64bit Windows 10 running driver version 445.87, use win10_x64/445.87/nvencodeapi64.1337 against C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvencodeapi64.dll and win10_x64/445.87/nvencodeapi.1337 against C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\nvencodeapi.dll.

If you experience issues with streaming software based on Nvidia streaming facilities (Nvidia Shield TV, Moonlight), you also have to import few registry values in order to workaround binary signature mismatch. See skip_sig_check (clickable) directory for instructions.

A video tutorial is also available. Credits to designator2009. (Covers older patches. Now we probably don't need to autorun executable if x86 library patch applied)
