Hello yall, currently I have an RTX 2060, which I’ll be passing down to slap a 1060 into my server, but I’d like to weigh some options first.

The 2060 has been pretty good with Linux thus far, I’m a little worried about going to the 30 series - so I’ll be accepting affirmations - but I am curious what any of you think about AMD cards and which one to get. Also if there’s any reason not to use a 1060 for jellyfin and such that would be very helpful

Edit: thanks yall! Settled on an RX6600, runs local LLMs like nothing compared to my ol 2060

    Xeon E5-2640 unfortunately does not, though still an upgrade of what I have now. Stream limit seems entirely configurable, so that will be just a matter of stress testing.

    Won’t lie I always forget about all the new CPU hardware acceleration after using decade old hardware for so long 😅

      Yeah quicksync won’t help you there.

      I thought nVidia’s limit was enforced by their drivers, but that’s probably changed since it’s been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).
