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.

Would the best option be an Intel ARC, or is it time for me to look again at the ATI solutions?
