Thejs1234 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Hi, Did someone try to use an Intel Arc Pro GPU (A40, A50 or A60) for hardware accelerated encoding with Plex ? I was wondering if it was useful/beneficial to buy one of these GPUs. Thanks Quote
dinecoj Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I've seen some reports that some Arc GPUs work well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coqkIj0rnfA&t But also some threads with some problems with Plex inside of TrueNAS: https://forums.truenas.com/t/plex-app-and-intel-arc-gpu/9618 Quote

Thejs1234 Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 (edited) Quote Hello all. An update for any one who is looking to go with an Intel Arc GPU, at least with respect to the Alchemist series and notably. Intel Arc Pro A60 GPU Installed Intel GPU Correctly Recognised In TN Scale Dragonfish 24.04.2.2 In order to use the Intel_GPU_Top tool, upgrade to TN Scale Electric Eel required. Upon upgrade I accessed Intel_GPU_Top via shell and pleased to confirm that the GPU is being correctly used by Plex for transcoding requirements as seen in the below screenshot. In essence, anyone looking to use an Intel GPU for a cheaper alternative for Plex transcoding, all is looking great. Considering that Intel Arc A series supports all the latest and greatest codecs including AV1 encode and decode, it is a no brainer. I would also like to say that I only went with the Arc Pro A60 due to space constraints as I only have space for a single slot height GPU. I would actually recommend something cheaper to most such as the A40. The A40 has 6GB VRAM which will handle a decent amount of concurrent transcodes. From here : https://forums.truenas.com/t/intel-arc-pro-a40-support/22352 Yes, seems to be great ! Edited January 3 by Thejs1234 1 Quote
