June 12, 20242 yr I am not sure if this is the appropriate place for this question. I find every once in a while when playing media on plex on various devices, that when playing super high resolution (4K+) I often get static like lines or discoloration on the tv. If I transcode down to a lower version then this goes away. I have heard that adding a GPU to my build could help plex to better handle the transcode load and clear this up, just wondering if others have found this to be the case?

Sweet! Thank you! I have an older GPU (GTX 960) that is not really good for anything else but I will add it to my system for this ( I do have a Plex Pass).
