In my server I currently have an Intel i7 9th gen CPU with integrated Intel video.

I don’t use or need A.I. or LLM stuff, but we use jellyfin extensively in the family.

So far jellyfin worked always perfectly fine, but I could add (for free) an NVIDIA 2060 or a 1060. Would it be worth it?

And as power consumption, will the increase be noticeable? Should I do it or pass?

    Host steam-headless and use the GPU for that so you can have remote gaming on your phone anywhere you have 5G

      Holy shit that’s awesome.

      My work gives me unlimited uptime on a dedicated A10. AI engineer working for NVIDIA. Doubt they’d care if I set something up like this, or if they’d even know.

      But I have a 4090 at home anyway so like, do I even need or is this just another way to explore infinite hobby of tinkering with computing.
