Video decode acceleration is very nice for battery life and freeing up the CPU for that LLVM build you're running in the background, but it's absolutely not a requirement, it's nowhere near as important as GPU rendering. Heck, a lot of hardware doesn't have VP9 support and people watch VP9 YouTube on it.
- sudosysgen 5y agoA lot of people without VP9 hardware support just use h264ify. Otherwise it's not really feasible to watch high resolution, high framerate videos on a laptop. It absolutely murders battery life.
