Guest asrequested Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 First, if you're direct playing, you don't need much of anything. But if you're preparing for transcoding, the ryzen 3700 is a good solution. Take a look at this thread. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/76455-looks-like-ryzen-3rd-gen-is-the-go-to/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 You probably don't need a GPU with that CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Do I need graphic card ? Not for transcoding. That CPU should be all you need. I have a gen 1 Threadripper, and that CPU beats it. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/56343-10-simultaneous-full-transcodes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heypaleblue 2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 A cpu will just be for audio afaik. I'm doing 300-430FPS per stream with a 1650 super and the patched nvidia driver mentioned on this forum. I'm also using a G-series ryzen chip and honestly when I'm connected to wifi at the gym, a friend's house or at home I'm getting almost instant play.

Guest asrequested Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The CPU will always handle the audio, with or without a GPU. Without a GPU, the CPU will do everything, which is what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbestw 2 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 That should be able to handle more than two 4k transcodes. Someones saying I need a An Nvidia P2000 or a GTX1050 with hacked drivers. to be able torun h.265 and future decoding is best performed by discrete chips present on GPU’s. ?

Sammy 735 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 My 3700x kicks arse! I do Use h/w transcoding in Emby with my GTX 1060 too. That combo barely breaks a sweat transcoding in Emby but running 4 simultaneous conversions from mpeg2/ts to HEVC/h.265 does give it a stress check with MCEBuddy using HandBrake..

Sammy 735 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 BTW, @ the 3700x has no iGPU so a discreet card is required, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Unless you want to run it headless, but other than that, you only need cheap GPU for a monitor output. That's what I did on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'd sell my GTX 1060 but then I'd have to buy another GPU so why bother.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
