If you have $100-150 to throw at a GPU, buy an Arc A380 (don't bother with a higher-end version, they all use the same hardware for transcoding). It can transcode multiple streams of data for remote users while I'm running an SVT-AV1 job on my CPU and encoding 4K HDR media using ffmpeg (av1_qsv) orca slicer. It's not the size of the hammer, it's the right hammer for the nail.
bitmap, as you have that setup, how many simultaneous 4K HDR transcodes can the Arc A380 handle before performance drops off, and does it easily handle HDR tone mapping?
