Auto means it will use a GPU if it can.

Where the selection becomes useful is if you have multiple GPU’s and want to specify one vs the other.

I really appreciate you replying. So even with this

Which seem to suggest that in my system, Plex will ignore the video card entirely? Or am I being a moron?

I think you’re right. Turned on auto and it did transcode via GPU, thank you :slight_smile:
