I wonder if hardware decoding is actually important on desktop processors. I'm using integrated Intel HD 2500 graphics from 8 years ago with the i915 driver and, AFAIK, I'm seeing 3d acceleration, but not getting hardware decoding for video. 1080p x264 decoding in software is using only about 28% of a core with vlc, 4k video on a 1080p display is about 180%. This is on an 8 year old, bottom of the range, quad core, sandy bridge i5 cpu.
