#### Minimum Hardware Support
12.x series of CUDA libraries are used which have minor version compatibility. The minimum driver version on the host system must be `>=545`. Also the GPU must support a Compute Capability of `5.0` or greater. This generally correlates to a Maxwell-era GPU or newer, check the NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability table linked below.
12.x series of CUDA libraries are used which have minor version compatibility. The minimum driver version on the host system must be `>=545`. The oldest supported GPU generation for object detection is Pascal (Compute Capability 6.0 or greater). Older generations such as Maxwell are not supported but can still be used by following a [community workaround](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/20088). For other GPUs, check the NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability table linked below.
Make sure your host system has the [nvidia-container-runtime](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#access-an-nvidia-gpu) installed to pass through the GPU to the container and the host system has a compatible driver installed for your GPU.
