What scenarios does a home server need a GPU? - eviltoast

I want to host security cameras and a plex server. Does this mean that my server needs a GPU? (Or would benefit from one). I heard plex does fine with just a CPU

      As long as you have Plex Pass, hardware transcoding is extremely good with moder QuickSync Intel processors, and specially good if you run Linux.

        In fact, putting in a dedicated graphics card often disables the integrated graphics including QuickSync and you might have to set up a virtual screen to re-enable it.
