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

 

For Apple devices running iOS 10 and higher, password recovery speed is increased only on CPU.

 

Hardware acceleration is available only when running EPB on Windows OS.

 

NOTE: Only NVIDIA cards with Compute Capability from 3.0 to 7.0 are supported. To find out the Compute Capability of your card, please see https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

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 690 or AMD Radeon HD 7990).

 

 

NOTE: CUDA hardware acceleration isn't available when accessing EPB via remote desktop (RDP connection).
