Unironically?
Intel Arc GPU isn’t bad for a transcoding card: youtu.be/uShvhV2ZZCA
Comment on How can modern video/audio codecs such as AV1 and Opus deliver high quality at lower bitrates?

Unrelated question. What’s a video card that can transcode AV1? I want to add more AV1s to my jellyfin server but i’d need at least a nvidia RTX 4060 if i want AV1 transcoding >_<

Any of the Intel arc cards can do it. If you are wanting a budget option the a380 is a low power option. However don’t expect to use it for gaming. If you also want gaming then the a750/a770 are better choices but don’t expect quite the same level of compatibility with games that you get from nvidia

There’s an even lower power a310 now, I think it’s even low enough power to be powered solely by the pcie slot

WDYM by “add more AV1s to my jellyfin”?
As in have AV1-encoded source files and have jellyfin transcode from AV1 to more compatible formats or to have jellyfin transcode existing videos (no matter what format) to AV1 in real-time?
For the former, you shouldn’t need any special GPU whatsoever as a CPU can decode AV1 just fine but a GPU capable of AV1 decode could help. That’s Ampere, Navi 2 and tiger lake or later.
The latter isn’t very useful right now as a device capable of decoding AV1 must be quite modern and those are usually in a position to just decode the original without any need for any transcoding.

Amd’s 7000 series can encode AV1 too

Intel Arc A380. It’s super cheap and supports encoding AV1 through Intel QuickSync. It’s what I have in my Jellyfin server.
