Cheers mate, I just picked up the same card to replace my Quadro P400 that's been the Plex transcoding workhorse for the last few years. Great little card, can't wait to compare power usage. My only holdup is that Plex is a Docker container on unRAID and I need to commit to running the unRAID 7 beta as that's the first one with Intel ARC support in the kernel.

Direct to the point. Great video man. Thanks

@GeekShhh I bought it to day for my plex server (amd plataform); previusly y had a rtx 3070 but for some reaseon I could not make plex and casaos hardware transcode; just installed the A310 and worked like a charm, exactly the way you concluded in your video, 5 streams 4k to 720 P; in the sixth the problems beggun but with five it is fine with me; thans again.

Been waiting to see a LP Intel card for transcoding but also gaming since launch. Perfect way to re-purpose those left-over slim business PCs that still have a PCI-E slot. Either as a server and/or a gamin PC for kids who don't need high-end graphics. Respect to Bruce Willis here too man, nice of you to give him a shout-out.

Fantastic! Please do this with RX 6400 and integreated AMD Radeon Chips. I cant find anyone else on YT willing to do these tests. Being able to know which one is best and how well they function are great pieces of info.

The 6400 doesn't have an AMF video engine on die. It's pretty much only a 3d accelerator for laptops which have an APU with video encode/decode on it's own iGPU.

Do you have ReBar enabled? Honestly would like to see a test with ReBar enabled vs disabled, as my server currently runs on a machine where ReBar isn't available, and I'm hesitant to do the bios mod to turn it on.

On this one im not sure bc i didnt use my normal test set up. I used my normal Plex server BUT ill be getting it again to do some AV1 transcode test and ill test these 4Ks again to make sure rebar gives same results. Thanks for watching and commenting!

For the HDR videos, why didn't you enable the "HDR Tonemapping" section in the transcoder settings? It seems like this would be a better test as it will use the OpenCL stress VRAM on the GPU during the transcode...

@GeekShhh

This gpu doesnt support HDR tone mapping in Windows. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I think the ARC GPU is limited by the amount of VRAM. That limit is not there for the iGPU because it can use half the system RAM for VRAM
