Best/least expensive GPU for decent Plex transcoding? - eviltoast

I’m looking to move from a Synology NAS with Plex to get something dedicated that is more powerful/can do more transcoding streams at once.

What is everyone using and how many streams can you transcode at once?

    I know someone else said this but I would just get an i5 with a iGPU, I also have an 8000 series i5 and when it was new I did some load testing and it could do 5-10 transcodes at a time no problem.

    ETA: Even a NUC with an iGPU is great, I have several friends doing that.
