I have a windows setup where I have both my iGPU and my discrete GPU available to the OS. Ideally, I would like to have my discrete GPU do the hw-accelerated decoding, and the iGPU do the hw-accelerated encoding. If that combination is not feasible, I would like the transcoder to fallback to having the iGPU do the entire hw-accelerated transcode. Being able to select priority on both the decoding and the encoding side of the transcoder would make my life that much easier. ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[REQUEST\] Support multiple GPU for transcoding](https://forums.plex.tv/t/request-support-multiple-gpu-for-transcoding/645024): > > Plex only uses a single GPU in multi-GPU systems. I would like to see an option to use multiple GPU’s. Either in round-robin fashion or with fallback to next GPU when the first one has exhausted available GPU memory. ---
