Add a discrete GPU or not? - eviltoast

In my server I currently have an Intel i7 9th gen CPU with integrated Intel video.

I don’t use or need A.I. or LLM stuff, but we use jellyfin extensively in the family.

So far jellyfin worked always perfectly fine, but I could add (for free) an NVIDIA 2060 or a 1060. Would it be worth it?

And as power consumption, will the increase be noticeable? Should I do it or pass?

    If and when, I will have plenty of time to migrate. I hate plexification and will indeed switch to emby IF and WHEN.

    So far, seems jellyfin is under a copyleft license, so unless they break it, I think I am fine.

    And sincerely, jellyfin totally rocks.

      I have fucked up!!! It is emby that is closed source fuckkkkkk!!!

      “Emby has been relicensed and is now closed-source, while open source components will be moved to plugins. Due to this, a free open source fork of Emby was created called Jellyfin.”
