NVIDIA® GPU Requirements
You do not need a GPU to run In-Sight ViDi, but Cognex recommends to use an NVIDIA® GPU for improved performance. In-Sight ViDi utilizes the GPU during runtime, and during the development of your application, typically with the training of tools. Using a GPU can provide the following benefits:
-
Improved speed and performance while training In-Sight ViDi tools
-
Improved performance of runtime workspaces
- A GPU does not affect the performance of the In-Sight D900 series vision system during runtime. With the vision system, the runtime workspace executes solely on the vision system itself.
Minimum GPU Requirements
In-Sight ViDi has the following requirements for minimum GPU capability:
-
In-Sight ViDi 1.9.1 supports all NVIDIA CUDA® enabled GPUs with compute capability of 3.0 or higher. The Low Precision parameter requires CUDA compute capability 6.1 or higher. For more information, visit the NVIDIA website.
-
4 GB GPU memory is required for runtime operation.
-
8 GB GPU memory is required for training tools.
-
NVIDIA GeForce® driver version of 456.38 or higher.
Guidelines for GPU Selection
The following table gives you guidance for selecting GPUs, indicating the models Cognex explicitly tested and confirmed to work, as well as the models that do not work. The table does not include all supported GPU models.
The NVIDIA GeForce Titan V, Quadro GV100 and Tesla V100 include NVIDIA Tensor Cores. In-Sight ViDi automatically utilizes Tensor Cores if they are present, provided you have a Standard or Advanced security license. Contact your Cognex Sales Representative for information about enabling the functionality on your Cognex Security Dongle.
