Does GeForce support GPU-accelerated video processing with FFmpeg?

On this page, it says "GeForce" is supported

HW accelerated encode and decode are supported on NVIDIA GeForce, Quadro, Tesla, and GRID products with Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal generation GPUs.

But I cannot find GeForce in the listed matrix on the same page. So does GeForce support or not?

If the GPU is supported, then yes. nVidia doesn't want to market Geforce as compute cards, that's the likely reason for their omission from that matrix.

See https://video.stackexchange.com/q/17419/1871 for details, especially

only 2 video transcoding threads can be run simultaneously on a consumer level NVIDIA card, but this regulated on driver level. And with a strong desire this limitation may be removed then a maximum transcoding threads will be depend of a video memory size and Video Engine utilization, but for one transcoding thread for different video cards is necessary different video memory size. For example, one ffmpeg thread cost is 100 MB video on QUADRO K 4200(4GB) and 170 MB on GTX 980 TI(6GB).
