To try and find a close direct mode I connected over LAN, maxed the quality out and opened up Stats for Nerds. It says the source content is 84 mbps.

You should increase that as you're playing 80+ Mbps item

So on the WAN connection I set the client playback to 100 Mbps and stats for nerds then reports its doing Direct play

If it's DirectPlaying then your server machine capabilities don't come into play, it's all about your network connection quality.

That's interesting, as CPU direct play with the same video works over the same network connection just fine.

There's no CPU or GPU direct play - an item is either direct playing (being delivered as-is) or it's not, so it's transcoded (via CPU or GPU). You need to find optimal scenario for your setup.
