If I ever build a gaming rig again it's probably going to be an AMD cpu with an Intel GPU, and that tickles me a little hahaha

I have aspirations of upgrading my current NIC to an Intel x550 to take advantage of my UDR7 (2.5Gb w/ WiFi7)
We recently got 1gig symmetric fiber at the house. Maybe one day I'll be able to justify 2.5 gigs but that's probably a long way out if I'm being honest.

I ran a small test last night and was able to easily get 5 4kHDR -> 1080pSDR transcodes with my Intel i5 9600k and the Arc A380. Previously I'd get stutters and a ton of buffering if I tried to do more than two with my iGPU.
I think my bottleneck is my NIC now 🤓

I played this yesterday! Very fun, and the animations with the explosions were so cool. Thank you for making it

I'm currently running Ubuntu Server 24.04, BUT, I'm planning on installing proxmox and running Ubuntu as a VM and maybe doing a freeBSD distro for a virtual NAS.
At the very least I want to reinstall ubuntu to take advantage of my dual m.2s to mirror my boot drive.
