I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can’t find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I’d day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only PCIe 2.0 x4?

Edit: the x4 slot is full length.

No need for an Intel CPU. It is basically platform agnostic like any other.

About its only “requirement” is that your system is new enough to support Resizable BAR on thr PCIe bus, which your zen3 machine absolutely is.
