Hi!
After reading the first post its unclear to me, but does cuvid do all of the work on the GPU itself or does it use some separate decoder chip (which I remember dxva using.). Or some sort of combination?
Also does it have the sort of limitations that dxva does? Like that it wouldn't work at all with higher h264 ref frame numbers, or other video filters in the chain. (I see it works with all renderers so that's a plus)

Also what's the minimum recommended GPU? I'm thinking of replacing my 2600xt. I was thinking something like a gts450. (Not sure if its already the mentioned VP4 or hw or not)
