Hello everyone
Recently I did a pc upgrade, well built a new pc and used my old one as a media center using plex.
I got everything i wanted for the new pc except for a graphics card and the amount of ram i wanted.
so far only gotten to about 85% of ram used and that was when encoding.
my original idea was when or after the plex computer was set up and running i'd take out my radeon hd 7750 card and use it in the new pc since it did what i needed.
well after doing that I found out my old pc even with nothing connected to it, and no onboard graphics on the motherboard reverted to generic graphic drivers and made using it practically impossible. so long story short the graphics card went back into the pc and my new one is using the built in cpu graphics on the i7-8700k cpu.
I notice a big difference in how well videos play and look this way. my old hd 7750 played the video much nicer guess it had better scaillers, enhancers and what not
so some on here suggested i get a rx 550 card or a gtx 1050
as everyone knows graphics cards cost are insane right now, funny thing is going from asus's website i found ti cheaper on newegg than searching for the card itself on newegg.
so i bit the bullet and ordered a graphics card yesterday: ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 O4GB Gaming OC Edition GDDR5 DP HDMI DVI AMD Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RX560-O4G-GAMING)
I am sure for my needs its way over kill especially since the hd 7750 suited my needs. who knows maybe i'll get a grand theft auto or something like that to play here and there.
its a two monitor setup
one pc monitor hd 1080
other is 43inch tv 4k
i am going to be doing some tests (card will arrive late during the week to weekend) on encoding
standard def dvd to h264 and h265
1080 video to the same
going to get an idea on the times I know my pc does the h264 real quick already, but we'll see how it does now compared to when i put in the new video card.
