What GPU For Handbrake and Plex?

Post by MrElussive »

Any recommendation for a GPU for Handbrake encoding and Plex transcoding?

Don't you think you'd get better advice on the handbrake and plex forums?

I agree with Woodstock; the Handbrake or the Plex forums are the best place to ask.

My 2¢, however, is that Intel Quick Sync Video is well supported in both. If you have a somewhat modern Intel CPU with a built-in GPU, give that a try and see if it is enough.
