I've been trying to figure out the best of two options for decoding given my hardware.

I have a GTX 960M and an Intel i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz.

The NVIDIA GPU does not support HEVC hardware decoding. So I'm trying to determine if I would be better off software decoding 10bit HEVC or leveraging the GPU's hardware decoding of 8bit H264.

I have limited knowledge here, so any input would be appreciated. Happy to answer any questions or provide any additional info that my be helpful.
