Wrong, if you plan to use a licensed player (such as PowerDVD 17) it is required.
Z170 > won't work cause the CPU in most cases lacks the needed S-Spec level for h265 decoding, That list isnt missing a GPU like nVidia Pascal. Try playing an UHD with your GTX 1080 in PowerDVD 17. Aint going to work cause of Intel SGX, UHD = Intel SGX required for closed circuit decoding = CPU's GPU component for display = Z270 based chipset or higher. Do the research.
Heh, your presumptive haughty attitude is only exceeded by your ignorance.
'Licensed' by who?
Was Slyplayer ever going to be 'licensed' according to your definition?
Or was that 'research' all before your time?
