Aurora R13, decode hevc h2.65 4:2:2

Since the R13 has only the "f" series cpu, how can you decode this format for video editing in Filmora with the RTX3080?  Looks like the Nividia cards to not support 10bit h.265 4:2:2.   Do you use software like HandBrake to transcode the h.265 4:2:2 to h.265 4:4:4  or from h.265 to h.264" ?   Hate to go to the XPS to get the intel non-F chips. Worse case next year swap out the 12700kf to a 13700k.  Looking to purchase the Aurora this week.  Why only F chips option is a mystery since the R13 is powerful enough to do other tasks beside gaming.

    In addition to the processors having no integrated graphics . . . there is no integrated graphics port in the I/O shield, so a CPU swap to "K" is not a viable solution (if I understand your question correctly).

    By swapping out a K chip, won't I be using the graphic card I/O?  All of my cameras/camcorder are on Sony codec h.264 and the Samsung Galaxy should be ok.  Just thinking about what the future video formats have coming up.

    First of all, sounds like you are talking about Encoding (not Decoding).

    Second of all, encoding is not normally limited by the currently installed main-processor.

    Finally, when using encoding software, you can usually dedicate those processing jobs to either the main-processor (or one of the currently installed GPUs).

    Sorry . . . I thought you were looking for integrated graphics in the processor. Intel "KF" CPUs are available for the Aurora R13 . . . unlocked clock multiplier; no integrated graphics.

    Granted the R13 is a purposely built gaming rig, but I would like to harness its power to do other tasks such as video editing.  Unfortunately the KF chip has the igpu disabled.  Intel's 12th gen cpu has an excellent encoder/decoder for just about every video format.  The RTX3xxx is capable of encoding/decoding many video formats, but not HEVC h.265 422.  For now not an issue with me since my video format is Sony codec h.264.  With many cameras moving towards HEVC, it is surprising that Nvidia does not (or will not via firmware update)  include HEVC in their current video cards.  Just looking for a work around using the Forums knowledge base.  Maybe someone has experience in this.   Filmora does not transcode video formats, hence looking at HandBrake to transcode HEVC to h.264  or to  h.265 444 which the RTX 3080 supports.  Filmora does allow for hardware acceleration for rendering, playback, and decoding by clicking the RTX3080 but the RTX 3080 would not see the HEVC since it is not supported.

    I might suggest you look-into eventually getting an Apple Mac (like a new M-chipped Studio). I say that because Apple really seems to embracing HEVC and HEIC.

    It is fully supported, but it is called NVENC. You will need proper software that supports it.

    Thanks for the research and link, but h.265 4:2:2 not on the list.  They do show AV1 is being supported which is better that h.265 422 but no camera are on board yet.  h.266 is in the works to supplant h.265.  h.265 maybe short lived anyways. Cameras went to h.265 for better compression quality but  not supported in browsers or youtube.  People shooting with the latest high end cameras have to use Apple or Intel non-k chipsets to encode/decode as neither Nvidia or AMD supports 422.  Looks like have to use a transcoder software if using a non-k intel chip.
