Hi all,
For almost 2 years now i'm running a dedicated Plex Server on my Unraid machine.
The machine is only used for Plex, Radarr, Sonarr etc. (only this corner stuff)
Right now im using a I5-10400 CPU with a 630IGPU for all my transcoding etc.
Im looking to upgrade this CPU to a 15-12600 with a 770IGPU.
The reason for this is that i'm busy to convert my entire libary to x265 and in some cases to x265 10bit. I dont want and need 4k*
I dont want to force my clients to all buy an expensive shield (Plex is my hobby and people can join for free) so thats why i wanna upgrade it.
Clients know that their settings should "remote quality max/originale" but some older clients - chromecast- doesnt support x265.
So not everyone is using my HW. In peak hours i have arround 10 simultaneously streams and maybe 70% is direct play.
My libary has content around 4-12GB and like i said, nothing is 4K. I have a 1gig in and out network.
Yesterday for example i saw that one client was using 30% of CPU power because it was needed to HW x265 10 bit to the chromecast.
Converting everything to 265 is done by my main PC with a 1660TI, so nothing with Unraid.
My question is; is Plex/Unraid fully function with the 770IGPU and QS? Or is it still in beta version or something?
Can i just switch the CPU, activite QS in the Plex Docker and done?
Keep in mind that i'm NOT an total IT engineer and that i almost never use a CLI. I learned everything from forums and google lol.
Cheers all!!
