From my understanding on discussions of this in the past.

NVOF is driver & hardware controlled.

NVOF 3.0 is exclusive to nVidia 3000 series GPU's.

nVidia 2000 series GPU's are limited to 2.x

This is from nVidia's side. Not SVP.

If 4000 series come out tomorrow with NVOF 4.0, they would work with SVP with NVOF 4.0

And I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia makes the next NVOF exclusive to the next line of GPUs

I thought NVOF 3.0 added functionality to do the global flow, and the forward and backward flow using a hardware solution (with a single API), which allows it to run faster. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/whats … w-sdk-3-0/

I also thought that SVP uses NVOF 1.1...

quality and performance of NVOF are completely depend on the video driver, there nothing the app can or must do

plus SVP always use "forward and backward flow", regarding of NVOF version

Any possibility of upgrading SVP's NVOF to NVOF 3.0?

I'm interested in the global flow and forward and backward flow in NVOF 3.0. Also, it looks like there's some performance improvements, as well.

I'm willing to do testing.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
