Qnap NAS based Plex - what GPU for HW transcoding?

And while doing that, make sure you know your hardware decoding needs. You need a Skylake-equivalent Xeon to get quick sync HEVC decoding. And you need a Kaby Lake-equivalent Xeon to get HEVC 10-bit.

You need KabyLake (-7xxx or higher in core-series terms) for HEVC HDR (10 bit)
You need SkyLake (-6xxx or higher in core series terms) for HEVC SDR (8 bit).

This generally translates to 630+ graphics for HDR.

Good to know, thanks…
