I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

Avoid AMD? Why do you say that?

No good hardware acceleration for video.

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

It is terrible for media hardware acceleration. I’m saying that out of both personal experience and the Jellyfin wiki

I’ve been using my 6700XT for about 4 years with Emby and have had 0 issues

For all of my streaming devices it re encodes to h264 which AMD can easily do. Have yet to have any files fail to decode/encode
