So the rules are quite simple:
- if your video card is to the left of blue line - you won't see any improvements of GPU acceleration for 1080p video (but it still will work for 720p)
- any (*) video card to the right of blue line can be used for 1080p video. If there's not enough speed then most likely you need to upgrade your CPU, not video card!
(*) if there're no other GPU-intensive tasks like CUDA-based decoders or madVR renderer with heavy pixel shaders.
