My GTX980 did not support HEVC decoding in hardware, and as a result it played like crap on my system. The Nvidia cards have only supported it since the GTX 10 series. That isn't very old IMHO.
- Tepix 4y agoThe GTX980 was introduced in 2014. It's plenty old.
- spartanatreyu 4y agoThe 900 series came out nearly 8 years ago. Back then the world was worried about Ebola and Russia was annexing Crimea.

- NavinF 4y agoThe GTX10 series is pretty old as far as computer hardware goes. Hardly anyone runs anything older, even in third world countries: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey Software decoding should also work on a $100 cpu.
- babypuncher 4y agoPascal GPUs came out 6 years ago. Intel has also included hardware decoders on their CPUs with integrated graphics since 2015. It is perfectly reasonable for hardware this old or older to still be in use. But by virtue of being standard in pretty much all new hardware for 6-7 years now, HEVC support is far more ubiquitous in 2022 than AV1. More importantly, I cannot feasibly bring my RTX 3080 with me on a plane. When loading up movies before I travel, I need them in a codec supported by my phone or tablet. HEVC has fit that bill for years now, and will continue to do so until AV1 support has become ubiquitous in mobile hardware and my current devices have been retired.
