At least on NVIDIA. ## Note about optimal performance on NVIDIA NVIDIA driver has a "feature" (read: bug) where it will downclock memory transfer rate when a program uses cuda, such as GPU Screen Recorder. To work around this bug, GPU Screen Recorder can overclock your GPU memory transfer rate to it's normal optimal level.\ -To enable overclocking for optimal performance use the `-oc` option when running GPU Screen Recorder. You also need to have "Coolbits" NVIDIA X setting set to "12" to enable overclocking. You can automatically add this option if you run `install_coolbits.sh` and then reboot your computer.
