any ideas ??

The RX 6500XT does not have an encoder. Only decoders. The 6600 and up have encoders.

[jellynoob1994]

i see hmmm so this one will GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8GB grafische kaart, GV-R66EAGLE-8GD?

[TheDreadPirate]

Let's back up a second. Will this system do anything except run Jellyfin? Specifically, will you be gaming on this system? The answer to that question will determine my answer and recommendation.

[jellynoob1994]

its basically a nas with windows 11 few drives to back up fotos videos a few vm for my own minecraft world and jellyfin

so.. there is no actuall gaming being done on this machine.

but ive done some digging i still have an rx580 8 GB

and this card has an encoder as far i can see

[TheDreadPirate]

It does, but the quality is.....not great.

The reason I ask is that if you are acquiring a GPU for the express purpose of using with Jellyfin, AMD GPUs are not recommended.

Intel > Nvidia > AMD

Intel Arc GPUs are cheap and are still the gold standard when it comes to encoding quality.

[jellynoob1994]

Intel Arc A750 Challenger D 8G OC so this will do the job ?

[TheDreadPirate]

The entire Arc lineup has the same media engine. Getting the A310 will get you the same transcoding performance. The only difference that matters for Jellyfin is VRAM. But that only comes into play when a client needs HDR to be tone mapped to SDR. My A380 can do ~12 HDR to SDR tone mapped streams.

If you don't need that many tone mapped streams, save yourself the money and get either a A310 or A380.

[jellynoob1994]

well i want to handle multiple streams to share multiple streams with me and my family content that i personally own ofc
and i got a 200 euro budget so the arc 750 is right in my budget

thank you for your help

btw switchts cards around the rx580 runs purrrfect for now handeling multiple streams with out murdering my cpu
