Can Plex use more than one GPU?

If more than one NVIDIA card is installed and configured to QTS mode, Plex Media Server will only be able to make use of the first available card for hardware-accelerated streaming. Starting with Plex Media Server v1. 20.2, driver version 450.66 or newer is required for NVIDIA GPU usage.

Does Plex use the GPU?

Well, a plex server essentially needs a CPU as most servers will use a CPU for transcoding. Bringing a GPU into the mix will help with hardware-accelerated transcoding for heavy tasks like remote transmission of 4K stream to different display sizes.

Does Plex convert HDR to SDR?

This feature allows Plex Media Server to maintain high visual fidelity of content, by applying tone mapping to convert it to SDR when transcoding HDR content.

How many cores can Plex use?

At just over $170, it has 6 or 12 cores, a base frequency of 3.8 GHz, and a boost speed of 4.4 GHz—all for a thermal design point, or TDP, of 65W. Plex can utilize every core, but if you are only transcoding one video at a time, it can use all of the cores to complete the process much faster.

Can Plex play HDR10+?
