I'm interested in your use of the Arc card for media transcoding. What one did you get and how would you say it compares to a GTX 960? The one in my server died and I stuck a spare 2060 in there a while back and am looking to downgrade to something sensible.
Most of my media is 1080p x264 with some 4k HEVC (and growing) if that helps.
I had a 1050ti in the machine and I bought an A770. It's overpowered for transcoding but I do remotely stream games at 1080p, which is a good workout for the card.
For simple transcoding I would buy the A310 since it's the cheapest card with AV1. I'm running an old 6th Gen i7-6600k and I had to mess with the UEFI to allow REBAR, but I used this tool to do it.
