Do the 900 series Nvidia GPU's not support 4K hardware encoding/decoding?

So just curious but when watching GPUz and watching a video on youtube in up to 1080P60 it shows load on the VideoEngine but at 4K it shows GPU load where on my 1060 it shows load on the VideoEngine for all videos. Do the 900 series cards lack 4K encoding/decoding? If so that seems a little strange.

Yep I don't see why they shouldn't.

I think it's only fully supported on GM206 (GTX 950/960).

Also I've noticed that my 1050Ti plays 4K videos from YouTube significantly smoother than my 980Ti did.

The GTX 960 and 950 are the only cards from the Maxwell series that fully support HEVC and VP9 in hardware. However, they may lack the Playready DRM, rendering their video decode engine completely irrelevant for certain (major) HTPC uses.
