How was implementing the A380 as a transcoder?

Am certainly interested it (the series, not this card specifically) in buying it as an accelerator.

Very easy if you’re building a new box. The latest Linux kernel (6 I think) has all the required drivers available, and no encoding limit like Nvidia. The Intel GPUs are pretty great for media transcoding.

Personally I setup an old Dell r720 and stuck the GPU in that. My hypervisor is proxmox and I just run jellyfin as an unprivileged container.

If I have the spare funds for a new server, this sounds like a lovely idea!

Thank you :)

Sure thing. My electric rate is pretty cheap though. You may be better off finding a small box with integrated graphics in the CPU. Then add storage separately. Connected NAS or something else.

But I like the Dell servers since they’re so cheap for the value.
