Gtx 1050 plex transcoding
Pba bowling us open 2020 results
My main Plex server is all CPU based, using 2x 10-core Xeon CPUs to do heavy lifting when a transcode is requested. It can handle 2 or 3 simultaneous 4K transcodes, but uses 3-400 W of power to do it. the new server using the GPU for decoding/encoding can handle 9 or 10 4K transcodes, and only uses about 100-150w doing it.
VRAM Bandwidth Preliminary testing sees a single NVDEC job on a 128Bit GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (Pascal) unable to use more than 30% (112 FPS) of the NVDEC. Two streams hold about 50%, Three about 80% and more than four streams to reach 100% NVDEC saturation.
