Nice read, I was thinking about these processors as well. Also, the AMD embedded chips which offers more cores and better GPU performance BUUUUT, That does not matter when AMD is problematic when trying to pass through there iGPU. Intel No issues and the virtualization seems easier on any intel machine than AMD (INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS). I have my personal machines all running either ARM CPU or a Energy Efficient X86. All have pros and cons, now my current server is running a i7-6700 with a WX3200 and it does everything beautifully, gaming remotely and at the station work flawlessly. I digress, everyone's usage is different, I am now changing the system out for a Dell Workstation 3210 workstation with the E5-2690 V2 Intel chip. WHY? Cores and more performance. Sure I could have built a new PC but this system is costing $200 with 32GB ram and a 250GB SSD. Again everyone's usage is different. My goal is to have 2 in 1 machines running with everyone remoting to a Virtual Machine as their desktop. If it is a Chromebook they can use windows apps, Linux app you want to use? Load up Debian and a way you go. Also this upgrades everyone equally and if someone needs more power, well lets allocate that for you. Until the prices come down on the Ampere chips and equivalent (as well as maturing software) I think taking one of these machines and using it as the power machines does more, it saves it from ewaste which is a bigger problem than using under powered machines for servers. Tinkering is great on the PI and mini PC's. Eventually I have found out that you hit a wall and need more of something. That is what led me to this machine after 6 years of low powered machines. Hit a wall and need an upgrade! If you made it this far apologizes just wanted throw in my thoughts!

Gpu Nvidia Passthrough
Hi All,
New to openmediavault, Had a play around with omv 6 but cannot seem to get gpu passthrough working for plex transcoding.
Has any body managed to do this?
if so, am i required to CLI remove debian drivers and install the Nvidia driver?
any tips would be great as i followed a guide that was posted on these forums but ran into a problem with a couple of the commands.
i have successfully set this up on Ubuntu , Unraid server previously.
