Now that AMD has bet the farm on open source drivers in Linux and had several different teams and companies (including Valve and Redhat) working on their drivers, wouldn’t it be beneficial to support HW acceleration using the AMDGPU driver for Linux? ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@\[Feature Request\] Add support for AMD's Video Core Next encoding](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-add-support-for-amds-video-core-next-encoding/226861/1): > > Right now the main way to run a plex server is with an Intel CPU that support Quicksync. This results in the best performance and especially price/performance ratio. It would be very nice if plex also supported AMD’s processors with built in graphics for transcoding. As an example, here is the performance capability of the Ryzen5 2400G processor: [image] That is about seven 1080p movies it could encode when used as a plex server cpu, or two 4k movies too. Quite a lot for a [little $170 processo…](https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113480 "little $170 processor") Therefore this one is closed.
