Redsand Posted March 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2020 So, i installed DSM 6.1-15047 with Jun's a while ago, on my old PC. But it doesnt seem like Plex encoding is using GPU. Is there any fix for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which dsm (918/3615/3617) and loader? the cpu is Intel Core i7 2600k(2nd gen) Im not sure what Loader, where can i find this info? DSM systeminfo says DS3615xs. System info also lists my cpu as Intel i3-4130, no idea why. Im currently running DSM 6.1-15047. Im not sure if its safe to update. I hade 5.8 version for a while, and needed a clean install to get 6.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Olegin Posted March 26, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 26, 2020 To earn hw trancoding, you need a processor begining from the 4th generation (haswell) with onboard GPU and a 1.04b loader with DSM 918. Transcoding will not work on your hardware. You can remove the video card, it only consumes extra electricity and warms the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Redsand Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted March 26, 2020 I see your signature listing an Xeon cpu as your setup. I have 2 Xeon E5-2630 on hand, is this a better option? something i should consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
