AMD GPU support for transcoding is nice, but is anybody still using dedicated GPUs for transcoding? Intels iGPUs do the same job at a fraction of the cost.
i do, because my server is 12 years old running an i7-2600 with no QuickSync, lol.
i believe that's where this market is: the not-inconsiderable amount of people who use very old computers as Plex servers.
Here we go, public release of the deep cuts
