gollark: Kaby Lake has VP9 hardware encoding but for some reason it's missing from some of the drivers?
gollark: Plus some other niche ones.
gollark: It has hardware decode for H.264, H.265, and VP8, maybe VP9 too.
gollark: I don't know why they put the decoding block into all the GPUs but I guess it isn't that big and they don't want to annoy people for not much gain.
gollark: Technically it is in laptops.
