3D and Video Load spikes constantly between 0% and the maximum (70/70%) seen in this screenshot screenshot shows load while transcoding 1 movie, tested 2 movies without problems 3D and Video Load spikes constantly between 0% and the maximum (50/70%) seen in this screenshot being able to transcode a few 4k movies with HDR tonemapping)? Or with the 1.200 Mhz of the i5-10600 and many 8th to 10th gen i7 CPUs.Īre you seeing similar performance with your i3-8100 with tonemapping enabled for 4k content (ie. I think it would be possible to get even 6x 4K streams if the iGPU maximum frequency would be 1.150 Mhz as it is with the i3-8300. This output is generated through the Intel GPU Tools:Īs you can see the Plex CPU dashboard isn't useful for hardware transcoding as it shows only the CPU load and not the video core load.īut hey, we were able to transcode 5x 4K streams parallel. The only limitation seems to be I/O wait:ĮDIT: Ok I think its not really an I/O wait, instead the iGPU reached its limit. I'm not sure if even 6x 4K would be possible. Transcoding 5x 4K Streams without judder: Direct disk access to 4K Movies located on NVMe: Transcoding to 8GB Ramdisk (4GB was not sufficient for more than 3x 4K streams, didn't tested 6GB) Enabled Hardware Acceleration (requires Plex Pass)

Ok as expected, I was able to transcode even more.
