Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 day agoWhy CUDA? I don’t see any services listed that would benefit at all from a GPU, and even if they later spun up a Jellyfin or similar that can always be mapped to the integrated GPU.
Better to start with something cheap and imperfect to learn what you actually need then upgrade from there

I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.
My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.
That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.
And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.
