AMD Gpu

[Clint45]

Hi

I have an old R9 270 GPU and was thinking of putting it in my unrad server,

To help with transcoding Mkv files with handbreak.

 

1 Is this possible ?

2 Is this this the correc way to enable my Gpu for dockers https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-6-9-beta35

 

Best regards Clint

You could in theory use your GPU in the way you describe, using the amdgpu driver module, but I'm not aware of any Handbrake container that can actually make use of it. (If you find one please let me know, as I could make good use of it too.) Two containers that can take advantage of AMD GPU hardware acceleration, however, are @ich777's Jellyfin container and mauimauer's fork of the linuxserver Plex container. You might also be interested in the Radeontop plugin and the GPU Statistics plugin. All (except mauimauer's Plex) are available via Community Applications.
