I’m curious if there are any providers that offer a GPU (Intel iGPU or a dGPU) for transcoding, and your experiences with them. I’m particularly interested in:
- H264 -> H265 or AV1 re-encoding performance
- Ease of use. Like can you just setup Plex or Jellyfin to make use of it?
- Are you able to access the GPU via cli, e.g. by being part of the
videogroup, so that you can for example run ffmpeg hardware accelerated? - Value for money? Do you get to use it limitlessly or is there a cap per month?
- Which GPU model? Intel for its QuickSync Video is preferable to me
I believe RapidSeedbox used to offer GPUs in their plans but I can’t find it listed in their pricing page anymore, or maybe I’m mixing them up with another provider.
Please share your experiences, you can be as detailed as you like.
