Hatte all die Jahre #CSM im #UEFI aktiviert, weil ich theoretisch mal aus Gag wieder von nem klassischen OS-Medium booten könnten wollte (in den letzten 8 Jahren nicht einmal passiert). Jetzt gelesen, dass das dann Resizable BAR/AMD Smart Access Memory und weiteren Kram für "reliability" und Security deaktiviert. Gleich mal deaktiviert.
Dann stell ich verblüfft fest, dass auch mein UEFI-GRUB nun auf einmal endlich wie konfiguriert die 4K-Auflösung statt SD rendert. -
And yes, ASPM is supported on my board, yay! :yayblob: So i modified my BIOS setting accordingly. But wait, you should also enable #ResizableBar support to allow efficient encoding: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090831/graphics.html
The B series Arc cards even requires it. So gotta shutdown my server and check my BIOS again. 😩Meanwhile I found out that there is the professional Intel #A40Pro GPU which equals the #A380 chipset but has lower TDP (50W) and lower clock speeds, but also a blower fan design. At least it is supposed to be quieter than the former Sparkle A310. Sadly nobody seems to have published proper benchmarks comparing all these cards when it comes to power draw and transcoding speed.
Oh, and you should upgrade you GPU firmware because older firmware version break transcoding entirely. Which is only possible on Windows, at least officially: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-flash-intel-arc-gpu-firmware-in-linux

Does anyone know why Nvidia are shipping a firmware updater with a two-year out-of-date signature on it? It doesn't match any of the known-leaked keys, but it's somewhat suspicious to me!
(In case they replace it, the signing cert at time-of-writing is:
Serial : 329EFDC406C491D67C01DBF8252A885A
Certificate expiration date:
notBefore : Aug 3 00:00:00 2018 GMT
notAfter : Aug 3 23:59:59 2021 GMT
