I assume it’s not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let’s say I don’t want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

          AV1 decode is supported on the RTX 3000 series, encode + decode in the RTX 4000 series

          For Intel Arc, AV1 encode + decode support is present on all Arc Alchemist GPUs,

          For AMD, AV1 decode is on RX 6000 series, encode + decode on all RX 7000 series GPUs

          As someone else has recommended, a low end Intel Arc alchemist GPU is pretty great for stuff like Jellyfin, very low price to entry for gfx accelerated AV1 transcoding.

          The nvidia 1650 can’t do AV1 but it can handle hevc just fine, I’m currently using a 1660 on mine and before that it was a 950. Unless you need more than 3 steams at a time you should be able to get it working.
