Setting up a deticated GPU for transcoding / Hardware acceleration

[RobertUnger]

Weren't you running Truenas scale? Truenas use ZFS, which loves RAM for caching.

I know that, but RAM, at the time, loves my wallet.... and that is not as big as i would like it to be  
I paid 300€ for 32GB CL40 6000MHz   And trust me if i say.... these sticks where the chepest i could find at that time. You could find cheaper sticks but they had a set delivery time of over 1 month. Even my sticks had a delivery time of 5-10 days.

Btw., i started a retour of the B580. I'm now thinking about buying A310 or A380. Moneywise the A310 costs about 105€ and the A380 about 125€. Would it be wise to buy the A380?


Your tipps regarding the ram and cpu usage during the transcode....
I tried it and opend 3 browser windows and played the same 4kuhd hdr atmos movie. It worked better then expected. I could watch all 3 movies. I didn't let them run long enough but i would say, 2 movies i can watch 100%. maybe the rewind or the fastforward could be problematic besides that,i would say it works.



I did not set anything up right now. I will follow your tipps if i have the new gpu and figured out all other nonsense.
