I've been using a Quadro P600 for encoding without issue. It seems to be able to handle everything I throw at it, though I never do any crazy multi-streams. I got it for about $80.
Edit: I was too excited to reply. I have no idea if it's good for driving a normal desktop VM. Sorry if this isn't helpful!
I would love to start my communities here, but they revolve mostly around pictures, and I'm worried about impacting their experience. I hope this gets another look! Maybe something like S3 Glacier could work? I know pctr-rs supports S3, so it would hopefully be painless. Thanks for your work on this instance & Lemmy in general.
What do you mean by Playstation format? PS compatible?
