Xeon E3-1271 to Ryzen 7 1700 - Upgrade?

[Guest asrequested]

Is hardware transcoding actually happening?

Then get one or two Quadro RTX 4000 GPU's and call it a day lol.    I only have one P4000 in my server and it does decent... I have 3 GPU slots open.

Sure seems like it. I'm not great at reading logs, but I'll attach a couple below.  The dashboard says NVENC is being used.

A 1070 Ti should be able to handle a single transcode without any issue I would think.

And if you applied a reasonable or lower than the original 4K bitrate do you see a difference as you are converting 265 to 264 at almost 140Mb.

 

This conversion between the two codecs doubles the bitrate, so if the device is set to max bitrate 140Mb and your HEVC media has a bitrate of 70Mb, you end up with a h264 of 140Mb.

 

To me this chart would suggest what you are seeing.

but a 1070 wont do 10 or 12 bit, or HEVC.   That's the issue i'm finding with my p4000  I need to get one of the RTX's   

It does decent with regular HD movies though...   Keep your computer and go GPU :-)

That probably explains it then.  I think this files are 10 bit and/or HEVC.

You know what. I might have been mistaken. Looks like it should actually.

Was just going to mention that.

Yes it will. Most main stream HDR or 4k stuff is 4:2:0

What does the 4:2:0 represent?

What does the 4:2:0 represent?

 

Chroma sub-sampling. 4:2:0 is standard, then 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 is the highest, when you can't use RGB10.
