There’s a separate suggestion to include GPU information on the dashboard (just in case somebody gets them mixed up 😉 ) > [@Please add Hardware Encoder / Decoder Usage (Graphs) to Dashboard](https://forums.plex.tv/t/please-add-hardware-encoder-decoder-usage-graphs-to-dashboard/408419): > > Thanks for reading… a quick search didn’t return relevant results, I apologize if this has already been requested. I love the extra details available now through the Dashboard! To be perfect (for me) it is only missing one metric: GPU/CPU Encoder / Decoder usage. This could be implemented as a split graph (L/R) for Encode / Decode, or as separate graphs… either way this seems useful to those of us taking advantage of hardware assistance for transcoding. I assume all (supported) platforms have … --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/dvr-record-use-hardware/708432)._
