AMD Radeon GPU for Plex Transcoding

Featured Replies

I have a AMD Radeon RX GPU installed.

How can I use this GPU to transcode in PLEX docker. Currently my Docker does not see this GPU.

There is no official support for AMD GPU transcoding in Plex.  They state the following on their Hardware-Accelerated Streaming webpage:

 

*Note: Our hardware-transcoding system has technical support for many dedicated AMD graphics cards, but we haven’t done official, full testing on those. Support for AMD GPUs is provided “as is” and your mileage may vary. It is recommended that you use Intel Quick Sync Video or a dedicated NVIDIA GPU.

 

Some have been successful in getting AMD GPUs to work for transcoding purposes in a variety of applications but there is no official process for doing so. It is somewhat hit-or-miss. Dedicated Nvidia GPUs or Intel Quick Sync have much better support and established procedures for enabling hardware transcoding.

Thank you @Hoopster

Where can I find a list of supported NVIDIA GPU's (even though it may be UNofficial)


Thank you.,

See this page for Nvidia GPU hardware encoding and decoding capabilities.

 

The P2000 Quadro is very popular with Unraid users.

You could also refer to this post and scroll down to "Nvidia GPU Hardware Transcoding Deep Dive":
