Have people actually used them for transcoding in anger yet? I was very interested in buying one for transcoding on a Plex or jellyfin server but last I checked, there were still lots of driver limitations
Supposed to yes, but when I last checked (which was a few months ago, admittedly), it would crap out if you tried to transcode more than a couple of streams at a time. Which given that an intel CPU with quicksync can easily do 20+ 1080p streams, was a bit of a let down.
The cheap arc are great, no amazing, for homeservers and transcoding.

It’s supposed to have support in Jellyfin.

I was tempted to try it but my Jellyfin server is hosted on an Unraid box and Unraid doesn’t (didn’t?) support the Intel GPUs.
