DGDecNV Maxwell support (e.g., GTX 750 Ti)

[Guest]

Nvidia's sweet new compute 5.0 (Maxwell) is now available on inexpensive cards like GTX 750 Ti. Maxwell includes a VP6 decoding engine that doubles the decode rate, making it comparable to QuickSync.

Support for Maxwell requires me to move to CUDA toolkit version 6. The compiler VS 2005 is also now deprecated. (Forget it, Microsoft, I am not going to pay thousands for a resource editor.)

I made a test build of DGIndexNV for Maxwell here:

Early Maxwell adopters are welcome to join in the testing.

Some fun stuff about Maxwell:

I have slipstreamed Maxwell support into version 2046, so re-download if you need it. All you need is to take the new NV12ToRGB24_sm_50.cubin and put it in your existing installation. Be sure to use the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version.

Thank you.
