I’m pretty sure no x86 chip has hardware decode/encode for audio. Together with dGPUs, they tend to have decoders for JPEG and decoders/encoders for H.264, H.265, AV1 and sometimes VP9.

They have hardware decoders for JPEG? I have never heard of this and it seems overkill considering how simple it is to decode.

Seems like Nvidia doesn’t support JPEG in NVDEC.
