Hardware acceleration

For recovery of passwords for Apple devices (iPhone, iPod and iPad), as well as BlackBerry backups created with new versions of Blackberry Desktop Software (6.0 for Windows or 2.0 for Mac OS X), EPPB provides hardware acceleration (i.e. runs much faster) on most modern NVIDIA and ATI video cards, and on Tableau TACC1441 hardware accelerators.

You can use NVIDIA GeForce 8-, 9-, 100-, 200-, 400-, 500- and 600-series or Quadro cards; Tesla is also supported. Full list of supported devices can be found here. If you have multiple cards, you need to disable SLI (either in driver or by physically disconnecting the cards).

EPPB also supports ATI Stream(tm) Technology, in particular Radeon 7000 Series, Radeon 6000 Series, Radeon 5000 Series and Radeon HD 4000 Series.

Alternatively, you can use Tableau TACC1441 accelerators.

Whether you have NVIDIA or ATI card to use with EPPB, you should also have the latest drivers installed (supported operating systems: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7; 32-bit and 64-bit).

The maximum supported number of GPU devices is 8 (4x PCI-Express slots on motherboard, each with double-GPU device such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 or ATI Radeon HD 6990).
