Have a couple nvidia cards for transcoding and thinking about getting an arc for AV1 and to start playing around with it. Linux system primarily, pass through for Proxmox ideally.

Any reason not to get one where it won’t work for these reasons? Anyone messing with one in a similar environment?

    Hey this is almost exactly what I’m running. I have a proxmox install that I’m passing an A380 through to an Ubuntu server VM which is then passed through to jellyfin in docker. Everything works fine but there’s one big caveat: the display will not work on that VM for some reason. When you start it, after you get to the point where it initializes the GPU, the screen will freeze essentially. Supposedly it has something to do with Intel drivers not resetting, but I haven’t messed around with it enough to get it working again. You can still interact with the VM over ssh, but you can’t view it through proxmox’s management interface

    currently I have a nvidia 1650 super set up with a passthrough on proxmox then attached to the jellyfin docker container. I have too considered getting an arc as it seems a good deal for thee functionality.

    but as someone else has mentioned it can apparently take a decent amount of effort to make it work. if your willing to jump through the hoops then sure its probably a leaning exercise but I decided to just use a cheap older card for now until support is a bit more “out the box” then maybe try again (or the server might get just a hand me down from a desktop upgrade too)

    also I don’t really need the upgrade with a 1650 super and a E5-2618Lv4 my use case is more than covered.
