>Transcoding rig>Cpu transcodingYoure better off with a quadro or some high end gpu if youre going to transcode. Well if its supported at least.
Adobe Media Encoder and Handbrake only use the CPU for transcoding, and Premiere doesnt use a whole lot of the GPU for playing back unrendered video. The only Quadro that could fit in the 2U case (the P1000) has significantly lower specs and a higher price than the 1050 Ti. Moving to a full size video card is also out of the question as we need 3 additional slots for the Osprey Video capture cards we're planning on using
Adobe media encoder support cuda encoding.You can also get an older titan
i7 4770k / 4790kIf you update your motherboard's BIOS, you can get either one, since haswell refresh requires bios updating
How would I go about doing that?
If you know anybody that makes a low profile Titan let me know. Really the 1050 Ti should be decent enough for encoding but Adobe is garbage at optimizing for GPU encoding so I didn't want to invest much in the GPU, and if it isn't enough I'll just use the CPU.
