Question for anyone that has a Plex Server running AMD Ryzen APU (2200g or 2400g).
I am starting to get to a point where I need a dedicated Server for plex and stop using my gaming pc as a plex server. I want to keep it low power usage since its on 24/7.
My question is: to omit the cost of a nvidia card, I was thinking of getting whatever the newer Ryzen 3000 series APU (65w) and no dedicated gfx card so save power/money. My understanding though is that AMD isnt really officially supported for HW transcoding. I have seen some forum posts regarding this, but information is very minimal. So what is really the deal with this ?
anyone with a 2200g or 2400g can you please provide me some details ? For example, systems specs and then how many streams you can get transcoding lets say from 4k/high bitrate 1080 down to lets say 8mb 1080p setting and if its doing hw transcoding?
If it cant get atleast 4-5 transcodes down to 8mb 1080, then maybe im better off with a ryzen 3/5 (non-apu. probably cant get atleast 3-4 on its own) and a cheap 1050 (which can handle 2 streams on its own) and later down the road get a p2000 (which I guess can get like 10-15 transcodes but costs alot at the moment) ?
