So based on your experience you wouldn't go to an all AV1 library because of device compatibility?
I was hoping it could transcode AV1 to h265/4/etc to save storage space with an AV1 library, but...

Thanks! The fan factor is very annoying... Other than that, can this be a good card for Video encoding?

Well, Alder lake doesn't support AV1 encoding from what I see, and the machine that the A380 is on is an I5-12400. I got it specifically for AV1 encoding, and it does that well. The one caveat is...

I edited my previous post, and am correcting it here as well. It does support 4 monitors. 3 DP and 1 HDMI. Sorry for the mistake.
I got some cheap 32" Samsung monitors from Costco. Only got two...

Not a side grade, actually half the performance of the GTX 970. About 1/4 the energy consumption though.

I tried this on a system without rebar and Handbrake encoding performed poorly. Anyone tried this and got great performance?

Well, if you are stuck on a pre-built system with a limited PSU, this is about as good as it gets. Otherwise, I'd really look into a number of used cards that are much faster. Intel's driver...

I can attest to the same as well. I snagged Asrock a380 low profile several months ago for $99 and use it for hardware transcoding on a Dell OptiPlex 7020 used as Plex server. It works great and...

I just got one of these to do hardware transcoding on an older system (that has no iGPU and QuickSync support) that I use for Plex and Jellyfin. With HEVC content the system could not keep up, and...

I got this last Black Friday at this price. For the cost, it's a great little card. Very low TDP (43w), no need for 6 or 8 pin (which the Asrock A380 requires), supports 4 screens (3 Displayport, 1...
