I have been trying to run Azure Kinect DK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/azure-kinect-dk/8pp5vxmd9nhq?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) on Ubuntu 18.04.

The Nvidia GPU that I have is Quadro P1000 and is being used.

I am having performance issues as shown on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jc7KhoPWdc&feature=youtu.be. Is there a way to speed it up to make it be real time?

    What framerate do you need to meet?

    For 30fps you need an NVIDIA 1070 or better GPU per the suggested minimum hardware https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/Kinect-dk/system-requirements.
