I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

      It is terrible for media hardware acceleration. I’m saying that out of both personal experience and the Jellyfin wiki

        I’ve been using my 6700XT for about 4 years with Emby and have had 0 issues

        For all of my streaming devices it re encodes to h264 which AMD can easily do. Have yet to have any files fail to decode/encode

          5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!
