Hardware acceleration system requirements

Feature

Operating system

Hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding
  • macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later
  • Windows 10 (64-bit) V20H2 or later
  • Windows 10 with a supported NVIDIA or AMD card

Hardware-accelerated HEVC encoding

Hardware-accelerated HEVC 8-bit 4:2:0 encoding supported on:

  • macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later
  • Windows 10 (64-bit) V20H2 or later
  • Windows 10 with a supported Nvidia or AMD card

Hardware-accelerated HEVC 10-bit 4:2:0 encoding supported on:

  • Windows 10 (64-bit) V20H2 or later
  • Windows 10 with a supported Nvidia card
  • Windows 10 with a supported AMD card
  • Apple Mac Intel and M1 systems. On M1 systems, HEVC HLG 4:2:0 10-bit encoding still encodes via software. 

Hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding
  • macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later
  • Windows 10 (64-bit) V20H2 or later
Note:

On macOS, hardware-accelerated H.264 10-bit 4:2:2 decoding is supported on Apple M1 systems only. For more information, see GPU Accelerated Rendering & Hardware Encoding/Decoding.

Hardware-accelerated HEVC decoding
  • macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later
  • Windows 10 (64-bit) V20H2 or later
Note:

On macOS, hardware-accelerated HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 is supported on Apple M1 systems only. On Windows, this is supported on Windows 10 onwards with 10th Generation (or later) Intel® Core™ processors and Intel Graphics enabled. For more information, see GPU Accelerated Rendering & Hardware Encoding/Decoding.
