How about if you have a 4K monitor plugged in? Or if your notebook display is itself 4K (which is a completely valid configuration nowadays)?
I have a pretty beefy laptop with an RTX 3080. I regularly watch BDRips that exceed 50+ Mbps, and software decoding even on my 8-core Intel Xeon will cause some stutters. Hardware decoding is just so much faster.
