Transcoding cpu or gpu?

[ANIS03 0]

Hello,

 

I have a question, please.

 

I plan to buy a mini PC or desktop PC and I would like to know if emby uses transcoding with the graphics card or processor?

 

Because I found a lot of PCs with i5-4590 processors but equipped with an Intel HD Graphics 4400 chipset...

 

Thank you for your answer

You need a premiere account to use hardware acceleration.

Yes, If you have a premiere subscription Emby can use the graphics card to transcode. That’s hardware acceleration. If you want, you can disable it and use the processor.

Both/either

If I understand

 

If I use hardware acceleration emby will use my graphics card

 

And if I disable the emby option will use my processor

 

So my second question comes now, the i5-4590 will be enough to do the transcoding of the hevc? Currently I have an intel pentium p6200 and the hevc is not supported

[vdatanet 1617]

Yes, you are right. For the second question, I think i5-4590 doesn't support hardware transconding for hevc, it supports software transcoding, but I don't know if it's enough for your needs, depending on your media type.

The Intel® HD Graphics 4600 won't support hvec either, you will have to go with at least a Intel Skylake or newer for that. The  i3-7100 and i3-7300 make for a pretty nice setup with HWA enabled. I think there are a few folks around hear using similar CPUs with no issues.

 

​Alternatively you could toss a Nvidia GTX 1050 into just about any machine and get hvec HWA support.

How do I know if a processor can support hevc transcoding?

A simple Google search with the name of the processor? Or do you have a site to give me

i5-4590 is a Haswell product.
