Boyturtle Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) The 2 main uses of my Unraid box (apart from file storage) are Plex and a Win 10 VM running Blue Iris, both video intensive items that can hammer my CPU (Xeon E3-1230v5) when in high demand. I have been considering upgrading the CPU to Xeon E3-1245v5 to get the added benefit of Quick Sync Video, to take some of the load off the CPU by letting it do hardware encoding, but it turns out that my motherboard (Supermicro X11SSM-F-O) does not support this feature, so this idea is DOA. Could someone tell me if adding a separate graphic card would work in this circumstance, or will it also be precluded as the motherboard doesn't support Quick Sync Video, and would I just be better off getting another motherboard to make this work?
