Graphics hardware acceleration for Plex on TruNas - Enquiries - 10-12-2022

I built a TrueNAS server with ASRock Rack X470D4U mb and AMD Ryzen 9 3900X processor with 32 gb ram and a 7 disc array. I currently have an old graphics card in the server and am interested in upgrading the graphics card to an NVIDEA card if it will be capable of hardware transcoding. Will my TrueNAS Core system perform hardware transcoding?

This Ryzen do not have built in graphics. It could transcode a fair bit of 4K using software transcoding though.
Here is a list of the best GOU for Plex https://nascompares.com/best-graphics-cards-gpu-for-4k-plex-video-transcoding/
1050ti and gtx1660 seeem to be the most popular.

I hope this helps.
