I do have the hardware to decode VP9 on my GPU; however my Mac is from 2013, and I am using an eGPU. I would like to play 4K videos from YouTube, but it seems to only be possible via software decoding (at least on Safari). Does anyone know if it's possible to force hardware accelerated video decoding on by Apple's standards, unsupported machine (when the hardware is there)?

Currently running macOS Monterey 12.1, eGPU is AMD RX 5700 XT.
