For everything but older AMD cards and Nvidia, VAAPI is recommended. Recommended: Mesa 17.1 or later (required for 10 bit HEVC)įor hardware video decoding, which may be necessary on low-performance CPUs to playback 1080p content, make sure your GPU or VPU supports either VAAPI or VDPAU.This includes most cards from AMD/ATI, Intel, or NVIDIA which support OpenGL 2.0 or later. Kodi will run on most graphics cards made within the last 10-years or so, though for good hardware video decoding support a little newer graphics cards can be required. Recommended: 1GB or more in a HTPC media player appliance-like computer dedicated for Kodi, and 2GB or more in a computer for multipurpose use.
