In my server I currently have an Intel i7 9th gen CPU with integrated Intel video.

I don’t use or need A.I. or LLM stuff, but we use jellyfin extensively in the family.

So far jellyfin worked always perfectly fine, but I could add (for free) an NVIDIA 2060 or a 1060. Would it be worth it?

And as power consumption, will the increase be noticeable? Should I do it or pass?

    I ran a 1650 super for a while. At idle it added about 10W and would draw 30-40W while transcoding. I ended up taking it out because the increased power wasn’t worth the slight performance increase for me.
