I’m looking to move from a Synology NAS with Plex to get something dedicated that is more powerful/can do more transcoding streams at once.

What is everyone using and how many streams can you transcode at once?

    I agree with the 1050ti recommendation as that is what I got for jellyfin. I think that a decent cpu is enough for a lot cheaper. I got a used desktop with an i7 4790 for about 50 moneys and ended up leaving on a trip before I could set up hw accel or even install the card. The 4790 is able to keep up with what I need through software encoding and it is over a decade old. (to be clear I did get to use the 1050ti before the cpu upgrade and it worked fine apart from minor codec support issues)
