Stixbnr32 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I have just switched from a Ryzen 9 5950x to an i7 13700 due to quick sync and power usage. I am now using about half the power at Idle with the ability to still get great performance. Really impressive how efficent the new CPU is with QuickSync for plex - also decodes Av1 I have tested and works brilliantly. Not normally an Intel person but for this use case with Unraid it works very nicely. I will put putting my RX 7900 xt into it which is currently in my 5800x3d windows bare metal rig and if it performs well be selling that rig with a RTX3070 and pocketing some cash. If not I will build a 7800x3d gaming rig eventually. So far more than impressed with Intel on Unraid mainly for power/quicksync. Really just putting this here incase someone finds it and is thinking of doing something similar. There was nothing "wrong" with the 5950x other than having to put a GPU just for transcoding.
