Doublemyst Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Hi there I am planning to upgrade my server. At the moment I am running Intel® Core™ i7-2600 CPU and Nvidia GTX 550 TI. Unfortunately, I can't use this Nvidia card for transcoding, as it is not supported (I've tried it). As I would like to watch Plex not only over my local network (direct play), I need something which will support transcoding without buffering (at the moment my CPU can't handle it, not even only audio transcoding). I have a spare MSI MPG B550 (AMD Motherboard) and I'm thinking of buying AMD 5600G APU and not using any graphic cards. In addition I would like to play some games on a Windows VM (not AAA titles, but something an 5600G could handle - some easy epicgames freegames), as my Server is standing next to a TV with an Nvidia shield and I'd like to connect them and feeling the joy of playing on a TV . Does anyone has experience with it? Thanks for any advice. Cheers Edit: Why am I asking and not directly buying -> I've heared that there might be some gpu passtrough problems and I am not sure how it is really working (I'm a noob) and didn't find the right answer in google (maybe searched for wrong words).
