In my server I currently have an Intel i7 9th gen CPU with integrated Intel video.
I don’t use or need A.I. or LLM stuff, but we use jellyfin extensively in the family.
So far jellyfin worked always perfectly fine, but I could add (for free) an NVIDIA 2060 or a 1060. Would it be worth it?
And as power consumption, will the increase be noticeable? Should I do it or pass?
For an old nvidia it might be too much energy drain.
I was also using the integrated intel for video re-encodes and I got an Arc310 for 80 bucks which is the cheapest you will get a new card with AV1 support.
