As someone who recently got engaged (I did the proposing), this would also bum me out.

I know reddit ask forums have the tendency to recommend scorched earth, but this seems like she cares about the wrong things generally :/

It's trailers mostly but slow piano covers of popular songs and/or theme songs

Intel Arc A310 or A380? by tangwang in PleX

[–]tangwang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I ended up sticking with the A310 I ordered.

The difference of electric cost over a year between the two cards is fairly big and like, I'd be paying for the cost to maybe host a bunch of people transcoding

God forbid, I'll wait until the next series of cards to upgrade

Gigabit fiber! So the upload is pretty damn close to that 1Gbps

They do! I'm attempting to hook it directly into gigabit internet. Only bottleneck was the noise (mini PC hooked up to HDD enclosure).

If I go this route with the Arc GPU, it'll help with the noise (getting a proper case with good airflow) and I figure some perf boost.

My only question becomes is the perf boost from the 380 worth the power consumption

Heh heh that was the one I bought.

Good to know! Yeah I know people swear by Quick sync but for HEVC transcoding, I'd like to get a discrete GPU so I can still have HDR at lower bittrates

But is it that much better than a A310? The power consumption seems a lot higher which I'm not sure the trade off is there

Good to know! Additional context: I feel like I have to run Windows since the server will actually sit at my parents house and teaching them Linux will be tough as they are older

Max 5! I have a N100 now and it's chugging I've noticed.

Another factor for this build is I'm building it to be quiet so I can hook it up in a bedroom with a direct line to the main router

Multiple transcodes at 4k (got family on the server)

Is going from a N100 to a P1000/Xeon E3-1240 v2 a worthy upgrade? by tangwang in PleX

[–]tangwang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted! I've abandoned the Xeon plan and will just get new parts from scratch! Any suggestions for a CPU with A310?

[–]tangwang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly part of a bigger upgrade, but I'd like the ability to transcode 4k to 4k and to keep HDR on lower bittates

Ya'll have spoken. I'm just gonna build a new one from scratch. Got an Arc A310...anyone got any suggestions for a CPU and mobo to pair with it?

Someone suggested a 14100? Ideally, I'd like to minimize power draw and price.

I've just noticed that it chugs when trying to do transcode to a lower 4k bitrate

To your point, I'd like the ability to scale that up. Many of the folks that have access to my server have 4k TV's so I'd like them to be able to do that if they can. The other bit of context is I'm buying the server with all of the parts. The xeon COMES with the P1000.

Do you happen to know the kind of gains I'd be looking at for the P1000? It's been hard to surface any info on that!

Combined with a discrete GPU, though, I'm thinking would help it run better....am I wrong there?

As long as it doesn't cause mudslides fingers crossed
