To use Intel Quick Sync Video, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

1. Since QSV is incorporated into the graphics processor, your CPU must have one (iGPU). 

   Info
   title Note
   You  can check if the CPU supports QSV here.

   
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   For  H.265 and H.265 + video, Intel Quick Sync Video technology is supported only on Intel processors with microarchitecture: Braswell (only decoding), Cherry Trail (only decoding), Skylake, Apollo Lake, Kaby, Gemini, Coffee Lake.

   
   

2. The mainboard supports iGPU (includes Flexible Display Interface). 

3. The Graphics driver supports QSV. We recommend using the latest version of the Intel HD Graphics Driver.

   Info
   title Note
   You can also update the driver automatically using the  the Intel Driver Update Utility utility.

1. Enable using the integrated graphics option in the BIOS settings. 

   Info
   title Note
   Depending on the BIOS version, it may be named differently (iGPU , Internal  Internal Graphics , Integrated Graphics  Graphics Adapter -  − PEG).

   
   

2. In general,   the simultaneous use of the integrated graphics unit (iGPU) and external GPU has to be avoided. In this case, to use Intel QSV, do as follows:
   1. Enable Multi-Monitor in the BIOS settings.

   2. Connect a “Fake/Virtual” Monitor/Display on Windows and then connect it to your iGPU and select Extend desktop to this display in the Multiple displays list.

3. Go to Settings → Options → User interface (1–-2). 
   
4. Select the Enable Hardware Decodinghardware decoding checkbox (3).
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
