Vexedly Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I have an 8700K with four cores dedicated to a gaming VM. I’m trying to decide whether or not to isolate them. How well could Plex transcode high nitrate files on two cores of the 8700K? Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 you could try it. it's not like it will break the server. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 A question with no good answer - how many cores are you giving for the unRAID OS? Quote Link to comment

The OS and Plex would share those two cores, as they wouldn't be isolated. Edited January 17, 2018 by Vexedly Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Which makes it sort of like doing heavy duty transcoding on a Core i3-7100. It will work to some degree... Quote Link to comment
