Not so much CUDA as NVDEC. And VP9 support was introduced in Maxwell Gen 2: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/designworks/video-codec...

Yeah I meant to write NVIDIA not CUDA, FYI you need to login to download stuff from NVIDIA, try copying the URL with the auth parameter ;)
I've made a post about how VP9 is offloaded to GPU in this thread, it's done via DXVA/MF on Windows.

One of the APIs is DXVA/MF on Windows but the underlying hardware is still NVDEC (and you can use the NVDEC API directly if you so choose). It and NVENC are specialised hardware modules.
