    No. GuC and HuC are not exclusive with regards to each other and basic GPU functionality, except if you hit a bug in either GuC or HuC affecting one of the basic 3D rendering paths.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is there any disadvantage to using HuC, on devices that properly support it? In other words, do I lose anything by using HuC instead of GuC?
