I have the new Zappiti 4K player which can only play HEVC 4K MP4 files, not H.264. When I render my H.264 2160/25p files to H.265 it takes 6X longer because the SVRT and hardware accelerator are greyed out. Is there a way to enable this? I have the GTX970 card.

I found the answer myself in an older thread. So, I bought the wrong card. GTX960 would work but not GTX970. Is there anyone here who has the GTX960 and Hardware acceleration enabled and getting fast HEVC renderings? In that case I will buy the GTX960. Corsair Vengeance C70, Asus Geforce GTX 1060

No, the GTX960 will not enable H.265 HA encoding either with PD13.

Current thought is maybe PD14 will support H.265 HA encoding for cards that support it. If that's released, the GTX970 will work too for encoding.
