Sadly, my current server is an old all-in-one, so adding a GPU will be difficult. My plan is to make due for now until I can get some proper hardware.
The current plan is - rather than bringing the hardware up to spec - I’ll try bringing the spec down to the hardware, by pre-encoding everything to something like H264. (While keeping originals, since I have the space.)
Thank you for the response and the resource, though! I’ll definitely check it out!
When my server crashes… I’m going tiny.

Man for me it’s the iGPU via Intel.
I have an i3 with an Intel IGPU and it’ll murder any transcode I throw at it.
If you don’t want to rebuild… I think a quadro 2000? Is the sweet spot for cost vrs power.
But do your own research… I’m really rusty when it comes to suggesting gpus for servers.
https://www.serverbuilds.net/ is a great resource for that stuff. They have handy transcode guides there
