Best/least expensive GPU for decent Plex transcoding?
I’m looking to move from a Synology NAS with Plex to get something dedicated that is more powerful/can do more transcoding streams at once.
What is everyone using and how many streams can you transcode at once?
A recent-ish Intel CPU. Even the mini pc's with a n5000/n95/n100 class CPU will make light work of transcoding nearly everything into x265 using the igpu. The most recent gen will do AV1 decode/transcode as well.
