xsteacy 0 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hi, First, thanks for any help that you can provide with that. I have old parts that I no longer use and I would like to build a media server with them. Here are the parts: Motherboard: GA-Z68A-D3-B3 Processor: i5 2300 @ 3.10ghz Memory: 2x 2gb @ 1333mhz & 2x 4gb @ 1333mhz Graphic Card 1: Asus Geforce GTX 560TI Graphic Card 2: Gigabyte Geforce 650GT Boot: 128GB SSD Storage (spinning): 1x 1tb & 4x 4tb in RAID5 Power Supply: 500w I plan to use Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 with Docker, I am not very familiar with Unraid / FreeNas, etc. 1. Can I use both graphics cards even if they are not in SLI for transcoding? If not which one should I use? (I want to be able to transcode 4k if possible) 2. Is the power supply powerful enough if I can use both graphics cards? 3. Should I find out about Unraid or FreeNas, etc.? Is it worth it? 4. Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. P.S. If I can't have 4k, I would settle for 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8238 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The GTX 560TI doesn't appear on the chart so I would assume it is to old, but only looked at the chart. Don't know how the 650GT falls within the chart as it only lists the GeForce GT 630 > 640, GTX 650. But I would you should get limited decoding and encoding. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
