QuickSync is all in the CPU (no GPU needed). IIRC it's part of the Intel Graphics (built into the CPU) so maybe it's not exactly fair to call QuickSync part of the CPU but it's included in the physical CPU chip and I have no discrete graphics card in my server right now. I know I can get a GPU to offload decoding/encoding to but QuickSync is pretty awesome for my use-case and buying a graphics card has it's own issues (space in case, cost of card, getting it play nice with Plex in docker, etc).
- toast0 6y agoIt is GPU needed. The intel spec sheet for i3-9350KF doesn't show QuickSync, but i3-9350K does. The difference between the two is that the F series doesn't have a GPU (or it's disabled). Also unavailable on server class Xeons without GPUs. I agree, it's convenient to have a GPU on most CPUs, but AMD puts less priority on that market, so we just have to wait.
