    It seems none of the latest high end offer has good solution for full h.265 hardware en/decode. Skylake igpu has full hardware en/decode which cannot be used in these models. The latest gtx 980 for laptop (or the original desktop version) only has partial h.265 hardware en/decode.
    By the way, I can use Intel quick sync for hardware encode h.264 for recording game while using AMD for gaming at same time. I know AMD and Nvidia have their own solution for game recording, but none of them is as good as igpu for recording and dgpu for gaming at the same time. Only switchable graphics can do this.
