For plex, overloaded na ba yung ganiyang setup?

No experience using that but the IGP / quicksync should help a lot hindi ba? hehe

EDIT: Remembered that the 1050TI and all the other NV consumer cards are limited to 2 simultaneous transcode streams before dumping the rest of the load back to the CPU...

If that's your bottleneck, a quadro card or a driver hack (if exists for your OS/platform?) should allow more concurrent streams.

Yup, I know about the limitations. I haven't found it necessary to hack the driver. Of course I've been waiting for a bargain P2000 to come along but after a couple of years, they're still expensive and hard to come by.

Anyway, both the Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 (IGPU) and the dedicated 1050Ti, together with the CPU, do pitch in to do the transcodes. That said, Nvidia's 2-stream limit is not too big of an issue for me. At least, not yet.

CPU, GPU 0, and GPU 1 utilization while plying 4 or 5 streams:
