I was looking into it because someone on reddit claimed IGPU is good for media servers because then power isn't wasted on a video card. Is that logical?
in SOME situations, SPECIFIC onboard video cards - like intel cards with quick sync will basically beat an integrated card in transcoding in terms of speed and efficiency.
for those, some of the really modern GPUs have features which help accelerate that, but again we're getting off the common "I just wanna watch my videos on my teevee" theme of Plex
@JourneymanGeek "in SOME situations, SPECIFIC onboard video cards...beat integrated" is that a typo? Didn't we just say onboard and integrated mean the same thing?
I'm interested if an rpi could be a Plex server. I think by itself...marginally. But if setup with port fowarding to be available over the internet, that's pushing it. Any one with experience?
