As I’ve read in previous threads, 4K will only transcode using one physical CPU. Your dual CPU setup is cut in half in terms of performance in this case. See here for facts provided by a Plex Employee: Plex will not use 2 physical CPU’s
Thus, your CPU benchmark is listed at around 8900 if you are overlcocked, or a more realistic baseline of around 7300 without overlocking.
Whether or not that is enough horsepower to transcode a 4K, I don’t know. But it is additional info that you didn’t have before.
