TrueNAS deprecated hardware - CrankyCanuck - 2023-09-29 Hi everyone, TrueNAS Scale's latest release candidate (Cobia) includes an update to the NVIDIA drivers, which unfortunately no longer supports some of the really popular cheap transcoding cards like the P400, P600, etc. It's a natural evolution and TrueNAS can't support old gear forever, but it's a bit of a sweet spot for a lot of the TrueNAS/Jellyfin folks so it's tough to see it end. Assuming IX holds their line on not allowing different NVIDIA driver versions... what would everyone recommend as a more current (but inexpensive) transcoding card? I can't use the integrated GPU as my server motherboard doesn't support that, so I've got to buy something discrete if I do want to stay on TNAS. For reference, here's what will remain supported on the version of NVIDIA drivers (click the "supported products" tab) - I don't think there's much there that dates before 5 years ago. https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/208735/en-us/ Would the best option be an Intel ARC, or is it time for me to look again at the ATI solutions? RE: TrueNAS deprecated hardware - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-29 Short answer, Intel Arc. Long answer, you should definitely get an Intel Arc A380. RE: TrueNAS deprecated hardware - bitmap - 2023-09-29 Seconded. At $150 for a card that can do 250+ FPS 1080p AV1 encoding using the "slower" preset and 75+ FPS 4K HDR AV1 encoding, it's lightning fast and will handle just about everything else you want to throw at it. Except old codecs. *grumble* RE: TrueNAS deprecated hardware - shadofall - 2023-10-06 the cheapest nvidia gpu you can get thats supported and meets your needs. since cobia will ship with LTS 6.1 and the k8s intel plugin requires 6.2+ to support arc that means scale wont support arc until at least the next major release, so not an arc. unless you want to run in a VM for the time being |
