Hardware accelerators for ffmpeg on FreeBSD 14

[Cromulent]

I need some form of acceleration for ffmpeg as I'm going to be converting a lot of video into multiple codecs. H.264 is essential but AV1 would be really handy. Would I need to get a datacentre Nvidia card or something? I'm not sure what hardware of this type FreeBSD supports. I've only really just moved over from Linux.
