March 27Mar 27 I remember a while back AMD was generally not recommended. The high idle power consumption and intel transcoding for plex being the main issue? I have an 8700g in an office PC that seems to idle just as low and have a much better GPU. Considering upgrading from a C246 system with a 28 watt idle with 18 drives.Will transcoding work with this igpu? What would the idle power consumption of a cheap gpu like a p620 add?
March 28Mar 28 I would skip the P620. The card is Pascal based. and Nvidia has made it End Of Life. The card still is functional at this time, but its days are numbered. The drivers are no longer supporting Pascal cards, so you must stick with v580.x drivers. Support for Docker runtime packages will undoubtedly reach a point where they need something from a newer version of the NVidia driver to function correctly.If you have a p620 on hand, use it, and start looking for an alternative. A Quadro T400 can be had used for about $50-60 USD. A more recent RTX A400 is about $180 new if you shop around. Both have low idle power, are powered exclusively by the PCIe slot, and max out around 30W (T400) and 50W (A400) Edited March 28Mar 28 by ConnerVT
