So the thing is I have an ancient FreeNAS box for storage and put together a new computer for all the other things including the Plex server. Reasonable choice to go to Unraid and it lasted me well, but the 3080ti passthrough to run windows VM with a gfx card output is painful and is sketchy. Someti…

I just built a beta with unraid flash drive that I had lying around. I have shifted to unraid again. No offense but the performance of windows and unnecessary usage of 3080ti pushed me into it. The plex server runs much smoother and reliably on UNRAID for me. Thanks for all the help though.

[image] bhootz: Also is there a way that I choose how and when I can install updates? Yes. [image] bhootz: I also believe that I can use Quadro for Plex and 3080ti for rest of the things on windows too? You mean 2 different GPU cards in one computer? Not sure that’ll work as you’d lik…

I didn’t really read this thread but my post is still current and works with multiple gpus for Plex on Windows 10 and windows 11.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was planning to use the Quadro P2200 for Plex and 3080ti for the rest of the stuff. What about windows 10 pro as a OS for 24/7?

[image] bhootz: What about windows 10 pro as a OS for 24/7? What about it? It’s fine. My Plex server runs under Pro since years. You might want to disable some of the desktop-oriented features, though.

Do you have a guide etc that I can follow? I’ve got the win 10 pro up and running currently scanning files and metadata . I was able to follow the guide and managed to HW transcode 4 streams simultaneously. It shows how transcode when I force conversion and all 4 could run simultaneously. Does thi…

How to make sure that the transcoding is happening with the P2200 and not the 3080ti? I have set transcoder and folder to P2200 under cuda, still I don’t see any load on p2200 while “downloading” stuff to my ipad/phone.

@bhootz This is what your settings should look like and then you restart your computer and it’s good to go. Here’s a picture of programs that are selected which is plex.exe and the transcoder. [Screenshot_20220102-091156_Remote Desktop] [Screenshot_20220102-091140_Remote Desktop]

Thanks for the reply. I had added the plex folder and plextranscoder.exe and changed the values of the 3 parameters for each. I am not able to locate plex.exe anywhere. Is it the same as plexmediaserver.exe? Added that and restarted. Fingers crossed now. edited Update: no luck. Hopefully you can …

See if you find Plex.exe with this screenshot. That’s the also the location of the transcoder. Then make sure that the values stuck for both files. [Screenshot_20220103-142540_Remote Desktop]

Just wanted a feedback on windows 10 pro

Here’s another post regarding GPU selection. I don’t have a multi-GPU setup, so have not tried it.
