Misinthe 35 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I am turning my current PC into a dedicated Windows Server for Emby, it's got an i7 6700k, 16GB RAM (upgrading to 64GB), and I am puttinig in a GPU for Transcoding, this is where I wanted some opinions, In my current server, I use an Nvidia Quadro K2000 2GB, but with the system, I will also have a GTX 1080 available, I don't know if Emby would benefit from all that or if I should keep the K2000 on it, or, I have another K2000, would Emby be able to use 2 K2000? Just looking for some recommendations and opinions! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution RanmaCanada 345 Posted September 4, 2023 Solution Share Posted September 4, 2023 AFAIK Emby can't handle dual cards. You can stick with your ancient K2000, or I would recommend you upgrade to an Intel Arc A380. Sparkle has a version that does not need a power plug. The 1080 would use far too much power and would need the hacked drivers to get the most potential out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wanted to go with one that I have on hand, I’ll use the K2000 and see if I can sell the 1080 and buy an Arc A380 with that money, or maybe wait for Battlemage? As far as power, I don’t really mind since I have an ATX PSU, plenty of power to go around. Thank you for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
