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

    I use a p4000 to transcode Plex content. The GPU uses less power than maxing out my CPU. I also have the GPU available in Kasm though I’m unsure if that works as I mostly use kasm as a SSH jumpbox or access to an unfiltered Chrome session at work.

    When I upgrade my CPU, I plan to put my spare 1650 in my host and spin up a windows gaming VM for guests and remote play.
