So I pulled the old GTX 1080 out of my computer that I’m using for the TrueNAS server. I was a little hesitant to do this because I had read a couple places that having a GPU would help with streaming videos.

My processor is an Intel Core i7-4770 Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ LGA, and I’ve had zero issues streaming to the Roku tv in the house (I’m in the garage, hardwired in for my work computers and my server box). All videos have streamed with no problems, and the subtitles (that I used Subtitle Edit to do with their auto generation with a LLM database) work great.

So one doesn’t need a brand spanking new stuff to have a good workable TrueNAS setup, and it’s great.
