### NVIDIA GPU
NVIDIA GPU based decoding via NVDEC is supported, but requires special configuration. See the [NVIDIA NVDEC documentation](/configuration/nvdec) for more details.
These instructions are based on the [jellyfin documentation](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.html#nvidia-hardware-acceleration-on-docker-linux)
Add `--gpus all` to your docker run command or update your compose file.
```yaml
services:
frigate:
...
image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
deploy: # <------------- Add this section
resources:
reservations:
devices:
- capabilities: [gpu]
```
The decoder you need to pass in the `hwaccel_args` will depend on the input video.
A list of supported codecs (you can use `ffmpeg -decoders | grep cuvid` in the container to get a list)
```shell
V..... h263_cuvid Nvidia CUVID H263 decoder (codec h263)
V..... h264_cuvid Nvidia CUVID H264 decoder (codec h264)
V..... hevc_cuvid Nvidia CUVID HEVC decoder (codec hevc)
V..... mjpeg_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MJPEG decoder (codec mjpeg)
V..... mpeg1_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG1VIDEO decoder (codec mpeg1video)
V..... mpeg2_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG2VIDEO decoder (codec mpeg2video)
V..... mpeg4_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG4 decoder (codec mpeg4)
V..... vc1_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VC1 decoder (codec vc1)
V..... vp8_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VP8 decoder (codec vp8)
V..... vp9_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VP9 decoder (codec vp9)
```
For example, for H265 video (hevc), you'll select `hevc_cuvid`.
```yaml
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args:
- -c:v
- hevc_cuvid
```
If everything is working correctly, you should see a significant improvement in performance.
Verify that hardware decoding is working by running `nvidia-smi`, which should show the ffmpeg

title: NVIDIA hardware decoder
---
Certain nvidia cards include a hardware decoder, which can greatly improve the
performance of video decoding. In order to use NVDEC, a special build of
ffmpeg with NVDEC support is required. The special docker architecture 'amd64nvidia'
includes this support for amd64 platforms. An aarch64 for the Jetson, which
also includes NVDEC may be added in the future.
Some more detailed setup instructions are also available in [this issue](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/1847#issuecomment-932076731).
## Docker setup
### Requirements
[nVidia closed source driver](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/) required to access NVDEC.
[nvidia-docker](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker) required to pass NVDEC to docker.
### Setting up docker-compose
In order to pass NVDEC, the docker engine must be set to `nvidia` and the environment variables
`NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all` and `NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility,video` must be set.
In a docker compose file, these lines need to be set:
```yaml
services:
frigate:
...
image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64nvidia
runtime: nvidia
environment:
- NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
- NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility,video
```
### Setting up the configuration file
In your frigate config.yml, you'll need to set ffmpeg to use the hardware decoder.
The decoder you choose will depend on the input video.
A list of supported codecs (you can use `ffmpeg -decoders | grep cuvid` in the container to get a list)
```shell
V..... h263_cuvid Nvidia CUVID H263 decoder (codec h263)
V..... h264_cuvid Nvidia CUVID H264 decoder (codec h264)
V..... hevc_cuvid Nvidia CUVID HEVC decoder (codec hevc)
V..... mjpeg_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MJPEG decoder (codec mjpeg)
V..... mpeg1_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG1VIDEO decoder (codec mpeg1video)
V..... mpeg2_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG2VIDEO decoder (codec mpeg2video)
V..... mpeg4_cuvid Nvidia CUVID MPEG4 decoder (codec mpeg4)
V..... vc1_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VC1 decoder (codec vc1)
V..... vp8_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VP8 decoder (codec vp8)
V..... vp9_cuvid Nvidia CUVID VP9 decoder (codec vp9)
```
For example, for H265 video (hevc), you'll select `hevc_cuvid`. Add
`-c:v hevc_cuvid` to your ffmpeg input arguments:
```yaml
ffmpeg:
input_args: ...
- -c:v
- hevc_cuvid
```
If everything is working correctly, you should see a significant improvement in performance.
Verify that hardware decoding is working by running `nvidia-smi`, which should show the ffmpeg
