NVIDIA GPU Acceleration
For NVIDIA users, VisualGuide supports GPU acceleration using CUDA 11.8 and cuDNN 8.9.6. We now provide a separate CUDA installer for better user experience:
Two Installation Options:
- Option 1 (Recommended): Install VisualGuide first, then run the separate CUDA installer if you have NVIDIA GPU
- Option 2: VisualGuide will work with existing CUDA installations (version 11.8 only)
CUDA Installer Features:
- Automatic Download: Downloads CUDA 11.8 from NVIDIA servers (2.5GB)
- Bundled cuDNN: Includes cuDNN 8.9.6 for deep learning acceleration
- Easy Installation: User-friendly interface with progress tracking
- System Requirements Check: Verifies NVIDIA GPU compatibility
Important: The CUDA installer is optional. VisualGuide will work on any system, but NVIDIA users get better performance with CUDA acceleration.
