The 10GB B570 for $219 (I am assuming these are US style prices) sounds like a very solid deal.

Do they only need a PCIE 4.0 x8 slot? The card length makes it look like a x8 in a x16 slot..m

Physically x16 but electrically (?) x8:

Even though the PCI-Express connector is x16 physically and has all the gold contact fingers, it is actually PCIe 4.0 x8 -TechPowerUp

Boo, I wanted one to go in a x8 slot, would make for a great jellyfin transponder in actual server hardware.

Thanks for the link.

If it helps, you don't really need full bandwidth for transcoding so it should work just fine. In fact I believe that's how I have a first gen Arc set up and I've noticed no performance issues

The card is already electronically x8. He means he needs it to fit in a physical x8 slot.

[-] Krill@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, this.

I have a supermicro with an epyc processor. 7 x16 slots and 2 x8 slots. I only need one x8 slot for a HBA card, the other could be used for one of these cards. It should be able to pull a couple of separate transcoding streams at any one time.

I suppose they would rather provide compatibility with PCIE 3.0x16 slots than PCIE 4.0x8 slots. It also helps support the weight of the card.

Also, there are lots of adapters you can buy.

I’m on a 2060S and that’s an upgrade I’d be willing to make for that price.

[-] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Should be a solid upgrade, even with the B570.

And you're unlikely to get a 5060-class Nvidia dGPU for under $300 (global price format, not US-style list prices).

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

That and fuck nvidia with their massive price hikes. I don’t need 1 million cuda cores or dlssss 5.0.
