Non Free Intel driver worth it for just VAAPI? - widardd - 2024-12-17

Hey there,

just realized that I have been using the free driver on my n3010 cpu running jellyfin. So that's braswell and therefore too old to use QSV on linux, if I understand it correctly.
But I'm wondering wether the non free driver got better performance when decoding.

Thank you very much!

Probably, but don't expect miracles.
