NVIDIA and HEVC Hardware video acceleration

Hi everybody.
I recently bought a new Nvidia GeForce 1050Ti video card and I am not able to get hardware video acceleration working, for hevc 4k@10bit.
According to the table here it is supported.

I'm quite sure my configuration is wrong/missing something. This is my current situation:

Nvidia drivers and Nvidia vdpau lib are installed:

$ pacman -Qs nvidia
local/libvdpau 1.3-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/libxnvctrl 440.36-1
    NVIDIA NV-CONTROL X extension
local/nvidia 440.36-2
    NVIDIA drivers for linux
local/nvidia-settings 440.36-1
    Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
local/nvidia-utils 440.36-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities
$ pacman -Qs vdpau
local/libvdpau 1.3-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/vdpauinfo 1.0-3
    Command line utility for querying the capabilities of a VDPAU device.

then

$ sudo lspci -v

Finally, my two env variables LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME and VDPAU_DRIVER are not set.

Apparently, as the output of `vdpauinfo` states, HEVC@10bit is not supported in my setup?
Any clue?


Thanks in advance

According to the table here it is supported.

The table shows supported for NVENCODE/NVDECODE. If you look at the table before that for VDPAU, HEVC 10-bit is not supported. You will need to make use of video encoding/decoding software that support NVENCODE/NVDECODE APIs to have GPU accelerated HEVC 10-bit.

Re: NVIDIA and HEVC Hardware video acceleration

Many thanks liewkj, you pointed me out the right direction.
