Hey all, Sat down and figured out what my max transcode limit for my 2700X was and it is right around the 9 transcode mark (I ran 9 copies of a movie that had to transcode and that was right on the threshold of what it could handle) In terms of actual users i have been hitting 7-8 at the same time…

P2000 is definitely the way to go, if you can run it in windows you’ll get both encoding and decoding support. From my own testing if your CPU is powerful enough you can hit 28 h265 transcodes before it runs out of steam. Plenty for anyone I would assume.

Ryzen 2700X getting close to maxing out, whats my upgrade path?

Maybe invest in GPU instead of CPU.
