QNAP NAS for plex & GPUs?

[ed]

Qnap TS-873 is a more popular choice among those who want to use PCI GPU card. Qnap 72XT already come with a decent CPU such as i5 and graphics chip built inside. Upgrading high spec NAS such as this may feel like a waste of potential if GPU card is used anyway instead.Once you install the GPU card you will need to assign it to do transcoding function instead of it being used in a virtual machine. Also, make sure you have a driver installed and Plex is configured to use hardware transcoding,Subtitles in Plex do activate transcoding function. So even if your TV supports 4K direct/original streaming, enabling subtitle will start the transcode process.You can find more about compatible NAS and compatible graphics cards here:https://nascompares.com/qnap-compatible-graphics-cards-gpu/https://nascompares.com/answer/qnap-nas-with-gpu-slot-for-plex-4k-hdr-transcoding/https://nascompares.com/answer/nas-with-gpu-graphics-card-for-plex-transcoding/https://nascompares.com/best-graphics-cards-gpu-for-4k-plex-video-transcoding/https://nascompares.com/answer/nas-with-pcie-gpu-slot-for-video-hardware-transcoding/I hope this helps.
