You "upgraded" from an 11th gen Intel CPU to a 4th gen Intel CPU.
The 11th gen you had is codenamed "Tiger Lake: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...h-ipu.html
The 4th gen is codenamed "Haswell": https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...tions.html
Look at the Intel Quick Sync table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quic...d_encoding
You will see that Tiger Lake has way better HWA codec decode support than the 4th gen you "upgraded" to.
Also, I'm not familiar with what codecs the GTX 745 has support for, but it's an old GPU in tech years. Just because it's a dedicated GPU doesn't mean that it will actually provide better transcoding support. The i7-1165G7's iGPU most likely has way better HWA support for video transcoding than this GPU.
Finally, your new upgrade is pegging the CPU more as compared the your previous Samsung laptop's CPU because it's an older CPU. There were many improvements to the instructions per clock and clock rate since then.
I'm not trying to be mean here, but you basically downgraded here. You didn't upgrade anything other than getting more ram.
I never said it did, I just mentioned that I got more.
I know that the laptops CPU is way newer, but its a laptop. it cant handle having 5 drives hooked up over a USB hub, its a basic hub with cheap hard drive to USB Adapters And it results in them randomly disconnecting, so it just wasn't working.
I have not checked if the Samsungs CPU was being pinned, I just know that it did buffer less. but it also is almost double the performance.
Jellyfin absolutely works on the Dell, it just has that buffer which sucks. I have a I believe 6th gen I7 and board for it, but no ram, and I don't know if the CPU is good or if its crashing. i could buy ram, and if it fits in the dells case use that. I think its an I7-6700. Do you think that would be worth bothering with if I can get ram for cheap and it works?
