Cannot see native Encoder option

Hi.
I use Davinci Resolve Studio version, and I’m wondering why I can’t see NATIVE encoder option when I choose codec H.264.
I just have the option “NVIDIA”.
What should I change to use NATIVE encoder?

Thanks.

You sure you're on H.264 (four) and not H.265 (five)?

And just as an aside, my laptop with a relatively low spec nvidia 1660ti will render out projects orders of magnitude faster using it instead of the native encoder.

Yes, I work on H.264

Well, the reason why I'm trying to use native encoder is I want to render out 8k projects with h264.
It's just guessing, but when I saw youtube clip, someone rendered out 8k resolutions in h264, using native encoder.

v17.2?
Windows/Mac/Linux?

v16.0 and linux OS.

So the logical explanation is that Linux doesn't offer a native encoder. You have to use the GPU.
