<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've used ffmpeg quite a lot recently;
many cores is life, as is building with -mcpu=native. :) Did not
know nVidia support was a thing; sadly I think my only nVidia
hardware is on the machine I transcode on but my last attempt to
get the right nVidia driver and a modern kernel to work together
ended in failure. Don't know if it's Coda-ready in any case. <br>

transcoding in the hardware is available for most modern
video chipsets. If your priority is speed over quality
look there.</div>

for transcoding, more than 6G RAM is overkill.<br>

Why don't you transcode something on your current PC?
How long does it<br>
take? Is that acceptable or not? What is the
"passmark" for it? Now<br>
use those amazing fractions to guestimate what the CPU
you want will<br>
take to transcode the same file. Is that acceptable?<br>
<br>
I would also look at the required power used - which
leads to the fan<br>
needed which leads to the noise created. If the
system is alone in the<br>
basement, perhaps noise doesn't matter to you? Mine
sit in my home<br>
office, so noise and excess heat is unacceptable to
me.<br>
<br>
Every other time you post, it includes running a few
VMs. More CPUs<br>
helps with running more VMs.<br>
<br>
Is it worth it?<br>
<br>
<br>
It depends. We cannot say.<br>
