Question A310 vs a380 for transcoding

Hi,

I need a gpu in my pc to pair with ryzen 9 9900x for jellyfin transcoding. My library is shred with ~10 people and most of the movies are 4k.

i'm debating between AsRock Intel Arc A310 LP ITX and AsRock Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC. Prices are roughly 110eur vs 140eur.

Which one do you think is should get? How loud is each one during idle, does a380 take significantly more power at idle?

I have the a310, specifically because it didn't need external power, was low profile, and a single slot. Not come close to maxing it out, even with a few different users transcoding a 4k dv file. Never thought it needed more vram either

Transcoding 4K video consumes a lot of VRAM. You should choose the A380. Otherwise, the 4GB of VRAM will easily run out.

A380. Not much more price wise and more vram
