RTX 3000

With HDMI 2.1, I think an RTX 3070 is in my not too distant future. Anyone else feeling the urge to splurge?

My main thought is how many active transcoding streams with the patch is possible with a 3070/80/90?..

My mind is blown..

Well, that's a little different. For emby transcoding, it doesn't really use the GPU, it mostly uses the ICs. But I imagine there will be big improvement with that, too.

Emby hardware transcoding does support GPU usage.

3070 for $499. Tempting. Doesn't sound quite so good when its in NZ dollars plus gst though...

I'll be getting a 3070 or maybe even a 3080... but it will be for my gaming rig... not my Emby server.

I'm more interested in the all the 2XXX cards that are going to hit the market cheap for that.  :)

I wasn't implying that it doesn't, only saying that with Nvidia cards, a large part of the work utilizes the ICs as opposed to loading up the GPU, directly.

I've got a brand new EVGA 2060 XC Ultra Gaming, in the original box, that I'm probably going to sell. I have two of them, and this one is collecting dust.

I could drive over to their main office... Do you think they might have one there?
