Go to the CUDA download site and select Windows -> x86_64 -> Windows 7 -> exe (local). On a slow connection this could take 30 mins or more (better get started then) The latest CUDA version is 10.1, if you’ve got that installed don’t worry – you can have both versions installed at the same time, just install version 9.0 as well and everything will work perfectly.ĬUDA is a BIG download, about 1.5 Gb.
CUDA 9.0ĭeep Art Effects requires CUDA vesion 9.0. If you install these on your PC your NVIDIA GPU will do most the hard work the CPU usually has to handle.
The software required is called CUDA and cuDNN. This means that when you want to do a LOT of math quickly each core can be helping out. Maybe you’ve got a i7 CPU with four cores, a typical PCs GPU will usually have anything between 376 and 1,536 cores with very expensive cards having maybe 4,000+ cores. Whilst GPUs are historically used in games they are also very good at speeding up the things Deep Art Effects does under the hood – crunching a LOT of numbers very fast.Ī GPU has hundreds if not thousands of cores. Deep Art Effects requires from files from NVIDIA for GPU support so let’s dive in!ĭeep Art Effects uses some software provided by NVIDIA to speed everything up. You can drastically boost the speed of Deep Art Effects if you have an NVIDIA GPU (graphics card) in your PC.
