I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can’t find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I’d day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only PCIe 2.0 x4?

Edit: the x4 slot is full length.

    Do you need to run the Intel cards with an Intel CPU to get the quick sync benefits? I upgraded my desktop last year and am going to convert my old Ryzen 5600x system to … something. Not sure what yet though. Just working on my options.

      No need for an Intel CPU. It is basically platform agnostic like any other.

      About its only “requirement” is that your system is new enough to support Resizable BAR on thr PCIe bus, which your zen3 machine absolutely is.
