Need an nvidia graphics card to run transcoding with hardware acceleration?

[gaetandu80 0]

Hello

Sorry for my english which is very bad.

My configuration:
GEN8 Microserver
CPU: I3-3250
RAM: 16GB
OS: Unraid 6.5.2
 
My EMBY server is running in a docker

I would like to know if it is possible to run transcoding with hardware acceleration on my configuration?

Or if I have to buy a nvidia graphics card?

If I have to buy a graphics card, could you please advise me a card to put in my gen8
 

And if possible set me up for the configuration.

Thank you in advance for your answers
