"Overlay" video rendering has been depreciated for quite a long time. It really hasn't. All current-generation GPUs have dedicated YUV overlay units, since they can do vastly better colourspace conversion and filtering, which makes a huge difference in image quality. Even putting that aside, you get an enormous benefit in terms of power usage, so pretty much all embedded/mobile/media-class chipsets vastly prefer the overlays.

except for anything in desktop space,
no new nvidia or amd gpu has had yuv overlay in years. Since DX9 cards I'd guess.

Hm, isn't UVD an overlay?

As I recall reading, the new cards have exactly the same feature, they just do it with a texture surface and a shader program these days.
