Server Version#:1.43.0.10492 Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200 Build 26200 I have 2 NVIDIA Quattro RTX 4000 graphic cards, 1 for running my displays, 1 for transcoding. Both are showing in the transcoding device selection box. No mater which one I select, it is transcoding on the same card as my displays. ---

Work around. I switched my monitors to the other card. This is a bug that needs to be fixed. ---
