- In this video i will do a hardware Plex 4K transcode test of Intels Arc A310 graphics card. This video is being made so people can make an informed decision when deciding parts for their Plex server build. This is the FORTH of many more to come and I will use the SAME movies for each test video. Im using 4k movies only because its the BEST way to test the strength of your Plex server. Please be advised your results may differ if your using REMUX 4k videos which are bigger in file size. Please Like, Comment, Subscribe!
Test Bench:
Asrock B560M-ITX/ac Intel LGA 1200
Corsair DDR4-3200 mhz 32GB
Intel A310 Arc Graphics Card

Been waiting to see a LP Intel card for transcoding but also gaming since launch. Perfect way to re-purpose those left-over slim business PCs that still have a PCI-E slot. Either as a server and/or a gamin PC for kids who don't need high-end graphics.
Respect to Bruce Willis here too man, nice of you to give him a shout-out.
Very much true and yes, Bruce is a legend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Direct to the point. Great video man. Thanks
I try to make it as short as possible. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@GeekShhh I bought it to day for my plex server (amd plataform); previusly y had a rtx 3070 but for some reaseon I could not make plex and casaos hardware transcode; just installed the A310 and worked like a charm, exactly the way you concluded in your video, 5 streams 4k to 720 P; in the sixth the problems beggun but with five it is fine with me; thans again.
@@revinerd Thanks for letting us know, Enjoy!
Very interesting. AV1 examples would be great to see in a future video.
Im working on it, I dont have many AV1 files but im trying to get some for the future. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Eh might be hard with yt compression
Thank you, very instructive content
I really appreciate this, Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@GeekShhh do you have estimated the number of simultaneous 1080p transcoding that can be done?
@@AdamsNormand Unfortunately no because i feel like all should handle 10+ but ill test it out on future videos. Sorry bout that.
@@GeekShhh don't be sorry, it's already huge.
My Plex contain mixed content, some 4K for spectacular movies, 1080p for move modest films and TV shows.
So I'm curious to estimate how much it can handle in a full 1080p scenario
Fantastic! Please do this with RX 6400 and integreated AMD Radeon Chips. I cant find anyone else on YT willing to do these tests. Being able to know which one is best and how well they function are great pieces of info.
The 6400 doesn't have an AMF video engine on die. It's pretty much only a 3d accelerator for laptops which have an APU with video encode/decode on it's own iGPU.
I tried doing the 6600 XT and it was a huge failure and waste of time so im kind of staying away from the AMDs 😩. Thanks for watching and commenting!
For the HDR videos, why didn't you enable the "HDR Tonemapping" section in the transcoder settings? It seems like this would be a better test as it will use the OpenCL stress VRAM on the GPU during the transcode...
This gpu doesnt support HDR tone mapping in Windows. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do you have ReBar enabled? Honestly would like to see a test with ReBar enabled vs disabled, as my server currently runs on a machine where ReBar isn't available, and I'm hesitant to do the bios mod to turn it on.
On this one im not sure bc i didnt use my normal test set up. I used my normal Plex server BUT ill be getting it again to do some AV1 transcode test and ill test these 4Ks again to make sure rebar gives same results. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think the ARC GPU is limited by the amount of VRAM. That limit is not there for the iGPU because it can use half the system RAM for VRAM
Very true, thanks for watching and commenting!

Is it worth to buy 14900k or 14700k for transcoding ? Need to upgrade my rig..
The 14900K and 14700K both have the UHD770 internal graphics which is also the same one the 12900K has and i already did a transcode video of the 12900k with the same 4K videos.....check it out... th-cam.com/video/Nd5nblwyT9o/w-d-xo.html
cab you use 2 or more at the same time in the same system ?
Im not sure about that one but i would imagine so, Ill try it out one day and update you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
i would recommend you to try to use RTX A4000 SFF gpu.
I just looked it up, thats a $1000 card, sheesh lol. I tried out the A2000 and will be releasing that video in the coming weeks. I may try out the A4000. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Please test 1080->720
Ill work on that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Has anyone else had problems with the plex web app automatically transcoding all streams even when running hardware capable of decoding the media format? Ive been having this happen ever since i switch plex servers
Which media formats specifically are you speaking about?
@@GeekShhh hevc, for some reason i can decode hevc on my roku, plex desktop app, etc. As soon as me and my friends try to stream my library on chrome or safari on a mac it doesnt support the format and the server transcodes it. I didnt have this problem on my old server and ive changed all the settings on my player to allow unlimited bitrate and direct play/stream. Ive also tried disabling transcoding on the server and i get a cpu error on the player
@@fuzzylobster3497 Thats very strange. I only can suggest to post about it in one of those Plex Facebook groups im sure one of them can help you fix that
This video is a god send. The a310 is the only card right now that comes in single slot and low profile and does Av1 so its great to know how well it does in transcoding. I feel like this is the real use for a card like this. Thanks for making this. I hope to see some vids of how it handles AV1!
I did an AV1 video and ill be releasing Next Monday. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nope nvidia has single slot options as well just not consumer cards. But they do AV1 encoding.
@@stephenxs8354nope. none are single slot AND low profile. The only low profile option they have is a dual slot RTX 2000 Ada sff and rtx 4000 ada sff. The others single slot cards are full height.
if i only whats one movie at a time
this is my pc moederbord asus b550 e gaming

Please retype the question, thanks for watching and commenting!
@@GeekShhh
if I only watch 1 movie at a time on Plex
4k
I would also see some improvement compared to my old video card

You have to PAY for hardware xcoding in plex? oof
Yes, its only available through the plex pass. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Arghhh, videos and YT'ers who claim to be tech but can't get even basic terms or abreviations correct.
Dont let my inner peace interrupt your inner demon. Thanks for watching and commenting....enjoy your day!
