Getting CUDA and CPAI 2.9.5 working together for Blue Iris integration.
-
Hello everyone. I am looking for some guidance regarding getting CUDA and CPAI working together. There is ALOT of info out there and the issue I am having is that a lot of it seems 1-3 year old. Tech moves really fast so I am just wondering about current recommendations. Right now this is what I am working with...

I am finding that if I use the ipcam-combind model and license-plate, I have the fastest detections with Yolo5 .NET. This isn't taking advantage of my NVIDIA card CUDA option. I cannot get Yolo5 6.2 to use CUDA. When I run Yolo8, it will use the CUDA option, but I don't have the option for ipcam-combind models and the detection times are 10x higher sometimes as I am using general models.
I would love to use the Yolo8 with ipcam-combind model.
Given my robust GPU, do I want to just use the Yolo5 .NET? Is there a way to get custom models with Yolo8? I would like to be able to use all of the GPU I have, but would like it to preform well. Do I need to use a different version of CUDA and cuDNN so that Yolo5 6.2 will use CUDA?
Any help is much appreciated even if it is a link to a current youtube video or other source that could address this. Thanks.
