Best/least expensive GPU for decent Plex transcoding?

I’m looking to move from a Synology NAS with Plex to get something dedicated that is more powerful/can do more transcoding streams at once.

What is everyone using and how many streams can you transcode at once?

  • While I agree with everyone that Quicksync is the best option, a Quadro P400 is also a viable option. You can get one off eBay for around $40. It's only 2 gigs of RAM, so you're limited to 2 or 3 transcodes at a time. But it's cheap and may even work in your Synology depending on what model you have.
