Unfortunately the CPU usage was maxed out, so I think it's doing it through that and just not touching the GPU. I'm beginning to wonder about it's compatibility in general. It is listed as part of the driver supported cards, but again, it is 6+yrs old. And for the VM, I don't even see a little + icon, but I'll got to the VM sub to see if they can help.

Tried a 1080p to 720p and while plex still tells me it's HW transcoding, I still don't have a running process on the nvidi-smi. (I know the pic says SD, but I did both 720 and SD just to see) But I'll be on the lookout for a 1050 then! But on the VM side of things, I don't see it as an option for the GPU under graphics cards in the VM section. It just has VNC. Do I need to start from scratch for my VM or is it just a setting I'm missing?

But then shouldn't it pop up in the smi information? Most of what I'd want to transcode is 4k to 1080 or lower, so seeing that it can't handle the HVEC stuff should mean it isn't going to be using this right? I guess the thing I'm finding out is this might be less helpful for plex than I initially thought. I did see that this plugin shouldn't be used if we want to use it in a VM, is there a better way to get that passed through? Do I just need to disable the plugin for it to show up in the GPU drop down for the VMs? or do I need another plugin? It looks like the other big Nvidia plugin got discontinued or something so that's not really an option.

That would make replying to your inbox message difficult too! Yea, I just upgraded my desktop GPU after ~6 years of using that one. Makes sense that it's old. Well that might be my problem. I just assumed you could just pop a GPU in and let it help out the whole machine. I do not have an Intel iGPU. Actually using an AMD Ryzen 3. Just for more information, is there somewhere I could see what it is capable of, or what cards are capable of doing it?

Hey sorry, struggling with the whole account setup, and the whole 1/24hr post limit is... limiting. I'm having troubles getting my GPU to transcode. I think I set everything up correctly, but things just don't seem to be lining up. First off, just the information I'm getting on my GPU seems off. When I watch smi for some reason has my GPU-Util at `N/A`. And then my GPU stats has N/A for a lot of sections. I have what I think is Plex setup correctly. I have the `--runtime=nvidia` in extra parameters and the keys setup. But when I go to transcode a movie, the smi still has `No running processes found` even though Plex says it should be using it. And just for safety I have this in my device list: [10de:1004] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK110 [GeForce GTX 780] (rev a1) Not really sure what to do next.
