maybe you should just avoid transcoding in the first place by having more compatible media and/or clients that can direct play your content?
most xeons do not have any gpu for quicksync support.
there are other options besides the p2k
its worth it to most people, but refer to my first sentence you should try to avoid transcoding in the first place.
most can’t see any quality difference, but really what does it matter any transcode will be losing some quality whether you can see it or not.
this may or may not be helpful, see @ Plex, 4k, transcoding, and you - aka the rules of 4k - a FAQ
