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 10^th Generation (or later) Intel® Core™ processors and Intel Graphics enabled. For more information, see GPU Accelerated Rendering & Hardware Encoding/Decoding.

Note:

Hardware acceleration provides improved playback, faster rendering, and faster exports for compressed formats, like H.264 and HEVC formats.
