Yes its have 0 Transcode streams… i want 1U Low Profile card with transcode but i dont see anywhere… 1050 Ti LP made with 2U size
the only readily available low profile card that I am aware of is the p400.
it has only 2 gig of video ram, which will support only ONE 4k transcode (if you are running linux).
Yes im running Ubuntu 18.04 XBMCbuntu…
What about that:
ASUS GeForce® GTX 1650 OC edition 4GB GDDR5 anyone have experience with this card? Thanks!
Nvidia P400 mDVI connector have Audio output to HDMI converter cable? Very strange…
Hi Guys,
I bought ASUS 1650 4G LP 440.44 driver and the transcoding made by CPU not GPU. i need any other driver like CUDA or something to use GPU transcoding? THX
edit: disregard my previous.
what happens if you type
watch -d nvidia-smi
(I can’t remember if you may need sudo)
do you have a monitor connected? if not, you may need either a monitor or a dummy plug.
what cpu do you have, if it has a built in GPU you may need to disable it in the bios.
nvidia-smi should like something like this when transcoding (4k in this example)

Only Big 4K HDMI TV but now its turn off… AMD K10 2Core cpu without any integrited videocard,oooorrr if i thinking there is a VGA connector on the mainboard but there is no monitor connected.
Hmm, at this point might need some others help to confirm whether the proper permissions/groups so plex can see and access the gpu.
I don’t remember the specifics, something about video group and/or dri.
You might try installing/re-installing the current pms beta, it should output whether plex can see hardware transcoding in the install info.

OK, i try it! PMS: 1.18.4.2171 i change it to beta
But i think the Nvidia-SMI 440.33.01 driver: 440.44 but how??? 
The minimum version required is 418.30.
No update needed at this time.
nvidia-smi is just an application/diagnostic utility, 440.33.01 is its version.
the driver version is the whole driver package version.
so, your driver is fine.
just try installing that pms 1.18.5 linked above.
If the installation goes “sideways”, and using Debian/Ubuntu, please get and share /tmp/plexinstaller.log. It’ll show what the packaging found.
OK guys im solved the problem… So i install this patches:
plex-nvdec-patch.sh
keylase/nvidia-patch
after that i reinstall the 440.44 driver overwrite the old one… And now the SMI is same the driver version. i think this is the problem… strange but now the X11 was work correctly. So if anyone has this problem make this steps and maybe working.

Patch links:
you do NOT need to use the NVDEC patch.
plex has had NVDEC support working for several months now.
