Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?
kieron115@startrek.website 3 days agoworth mentioning that any intel igpu from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well.

oooooooooooo, shit
i’ve got an 8350k sitting around as an email server, might be time for some migrations! tho hwenc tends to be worse than sw (nvenc certainly is, but the performance makes up for it) so i might just keep it as is for now…

For sure the quality will be worse than software but typically if I’m away from home I’m watching on an ipad and then you really can’t tell the difference.
