Accknowledgement

Usage the patch from https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch

NVENC patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.

NvFBC patch allows to use NvFBC on consumer-grade GPUs. It should be applied same way as NVENC patch.sh, except you have to use patch-fbc.sh instead.

Main target operating system is GNU/Linux, but for Windows support see win (clickable).
