QuickSync works but it's also worth noting that NVIDIA supports it on their second generation Maxwell cards.

All Maxwell cards, actually.

GM107, GM204, and GM200 all use a combination of a GPU shader kernel with some CPU assistance. GM206 (in the GTX 960 and 950) implements a newer revision of the PureVideo decoder that allows H265 to be decoded directly on the video engine.

Let's be careful about decoding vs. encoding.
