Andrew, are you saying that nv-codec-headers at 10.0.26.0 in the current CinGG work with your GT710? and that the newest 12.2.72.0 does not? If so, then maybe we should not upgrade. When I look at the support matrix (url below) it does not mention the GT710.
Do not worry, I only used proprietary driver from live dvd to see if nvenc ever work at all. I normally use built-in nouveau, even if it does not support encoding block on any hw.
Do not consider my oddball machine support as showstopper - I definitely can roll my own build ;)
yeah, gt710 is sort of two-cards-under-same-name, mine is Kepler based so it worked ....
A side comment:
Before I rebuilt my legacy SM workstation, I replaced a GT730 with GTX960 on the MSI mobo (from my upgraded Chieftec workstation)
https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/asus/gt730-sl-2gd3-brk-evo/
And then, about 6 months ago, I had the following drivers for GT 730 enabled on Leap15.5 and Slowroll respectively:
Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nvidia v: 470.256.02
isn't 470 < 550 ?
Note: NVIDIA driver versions are mapped to the following naming convention listed below. You will need this information when you are ready to install via commandline/zypper.
Note: Some OEMs use different chip familys (Kepler, Fermi) for the same product, as example GeForce 730.
But I do not think opening desktop case just for this test actually good idea ...
do not worry, ff nvidia headers quite small tarball, I always can fish old one from one of my backups ....
Device-1: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] driver: nouveau v: kernel
BUT when I do a compare of the old one we have currently and the latest at this website:I get the following differences which DO NOT say anything about dropping support for any previous Nvidia graphics boards.Below list the comparison which shows what was changed from the older version to the latestBump for (in-dev) 10.0.26.1

Great so it will be included in the next release. Thank you very much.
Can you also please copypaste min driver notes into our release notes so it will be easier for me to track it in case my older gt710 still stuck at older driver version (not a blocker, I surely can swap headers back to 2020 version locally).
Thanks and sorry for relative inactivity. I hope to pick up some steam ..... may he after formal New Year date?
Have (good) holidays!

Here is the AppImage with the latest nvencoders for Nvidia graphics that goes with ffmpeg.For comparison, here is the appimage containing the original nvencoders from 2020.
I've did a quick test with h64_nvenc.mp4 and h265_nvenc.mp4 (w/setting format=Not Interlaced)
Both AppImages works with similar fps speeds on my Nvidia GF GTX 960.
I am not sure if encoding with formats h264_nvenc.mp4, h265_nvenc.mp4, or h264_nvenc.qt actually work from an AppImage that was created on a computer that does not have an Nvidea graphics card or its software. But for some reason, I do not think that that matters and it should work.
Yes, nvenc works (as it correspondingly was expected to do with onevpl for Intel qsv/hw).

Downloaded latest version of nv-codec-headers release and built CinGG with it and no problems here. Unfortunately the 4 different computers I attempted to test on did not have the correct Nvidia hardware or software. Why? I do not know but will try one more later.
https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headersFFmpeg version of headers required to interface with Nvidias codec APIs.As shown in my previous post, the legacy (2015) NV-GF GTX 960 runs with the following nv driver version on Slowroll:
Corresponds to Video Codec SDK version 12.0.16.
Minimum required driver versions:
Linux: 550.54.14 or newer
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 530 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] driver: nvidia v: 550.135
If you want and have a test download, I can give it a try on my legacy GF GTX 960 SkyLake workstation, to see if your new AppImage (still) works as previously.

Andrew,
most likely our nv headers drifted from that ffmpeg-7.0/proprietary driver assumes at runtime.I have been wondering about nv-codec-headers as we are at:but I am unsure about updating to:
because if you look at:the release versions go from 12.xx to 8.x and it is really weird AND there is no year on the release dates but just day and month.Since it is such an important part of ffmpeg inside CinGG, I am concerned but will at least try the 12.2.72.0 just to see what it does.
in theory it should give users of new nvidia hardware av1 encoding ...... but not sure how it will work with older drivers and hardware.
you can try to install something like nv-codec-headers and then add
