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 have two GPUs in a single tower.

    A GTX 750 to that I share with my LXCs. It does jellyfin transcode, frigate nvr for 3 cameras, kasm accelerated desktops, xfce4 pve host acceleration, Jupyter tensorflow, ersatz tv transcode, and I plan to use it for immich. At most it is taxed about 25 percent but I plan to have a lot more nvr and jellyfin streams.

    I also have a 1660 ti passed to windows 11 VM for my gaming VM. I use sunshine and moonlight for remote gaming but I also roll easy diffusion for some image generation. I had an LLM but (https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) but it was too slow for what I’m used to - I just use bing chat and now meta on whatsapp for my personal and an LLM I have access to at work.
