Can Client side plugins can utilise the nVidia support via the MIPSDK? We have a plugin that currently uses the CPU and would like to update the plugin to leverage the GPUs.

If using ImageViewerControl, JPEGVideoSource or BitmapVideoSource, JPEGLiveSource or BitmapLiveSource you will automatically be using the Hardware Acceleration as does the Smart Client in general. Make sure to use the newest MIP SDK and Smart Client for the best support.

If you can see that the Smart Client uses hardware acceleration on its camera views (use diagnostics overlay to tell) so will you plugin if using the above mentioned classes.
