I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.
Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.
Edit: thank you guys!
Intel Arc A310. They’re $100, support AV1 and powered completely by the PCIe bus. Combine it with Tdarr and you can compress your media library down to half the size easily while still being able to easily stream to any device you have.
Side note. Don’t use hardware acceleration with TDARR. You will get much better encodes with software encoding, which is great for archival and saving storage.
Use hardware acceleration with Jellyfin for transcoding code on the fly for a client that needs it.
If you know what your client specs are, you can use TDARR to reencode everything to what they need and then you won’t have to transcode anything with Jellyfin.
