My smart tv's require transcoding to burn in subtitles. A single 4k steams uses nearly 100% of a i7-4790k with a ~12,000 passmark score. GPU is incredibly efficient in this situation

Not sure if the P2000 works with Mojave Hackintoshes, as I know the Nvidia 10 series cards aren't supported (yet).
*edit: forgot the P2000 is a Pascal card, so that's a nope.

It can be brute forced on the CPU, but the most efficient way is via Intel QuickSync encoder on the IGP or via Nvidia NVENC on a GPU.

Holy crap. How much upload bandwidth do you have then? For what I'm willing to pay, I only get ~12mbps so I can only reasonably handle 3 streams at a time I assume (4mbps each).

OK, it's all starting to make sense now. We just play videos natively from a NAS with a HTPC or Fire Stick. The new 4K Fire Stick can handle a lot of stuff, including HEVC using Kodi.

You can actually bypass the transcoding limit (of 2) on NVIDIA consumer cards for a while now.
