Why we included this project
Consumer GeForce cards ship with a hard ceiling on how many simultaneous NVENC encode sessions the hardware will run, which is fine for casual recording but becomes a wall once you try to push a handful of parallel streams through one card. This project patches the installed Nvidia driver to remove that cap, on both Linux and Windows, so a single GPU can handle several concurrent hardware encodes. That fits multi-channel streaming setups, capture machines, and batch video pipelines, and it is a common fix for AI video workloads that want more encoder sessions than a consumer card allows by default. The same patch family also unlocks NvFBC frame-buffer capture on consumer hardware, useful for screen-recording jobs. The trade-off is maintenance: every driver update ships the restriction again, so you re-run the patch after each Nvidia release.
