while youtube HDR is barely possible with that system high bit rate HEVC should be impossible no matter what.

the topic is pretty simple the hybrid decoder from nvidia are pretty bad and doesn't have to be faster than software decoder is used with an modern i7.
so it all comes down to your CPU and i doubt it can decode 100 mbit HEVC.

i can't test it but i don'T see a reason why HDR output should not work with a 970 it has HDMI 2.0 and nvidia is mostly interested in HDR gaming and this card should be good enough for that.
