[@tmoney1876]

Single Slot. Single Slot. Single Slot!!!!!! When you're trying to keep from spreading out onto multiple servers, its a killer to buy a GPU that renders 2 or 3 slots on your 7 slot ATX server board unusable. The fact that it is cheap and efficient is huge as well. I hope they sell a million of these.

[@robertwhite6384]

Yep. Single slot low profile. It'll fit into my 1U server. It's 100% on my list to buy this year. I'll make the money back on my power bill when me Xeon's aren't cranking away.

I don't do video editing but just for plex i bought a mini computer with a n100 (intel quicksync) & I have been more than impressed. Very small, sips power, & is a powerhouse for transcoding for plex. They are anywhere between $150-$200.

[@Vekstar]

If you got the asrock n100 board. You should combo it with this card. Sure you add another 20-25W on load, but the idle performance is great. Like 1 or 2 watts more.

[@Valthonis]

@@Vekstar If the N100 gpu is great at transcoding why would you add this card? Honestly curious.

[@Vekstar]

@@Valthonis because I want to play some video games too. Seeing icebergs tech video on gamming performance on the N100, is lacking. Unless your OK playing pre 2004 games. . Also, i want a gamming/media production computer that uses less than 70w or less in power. (this includes monitor, Blu-ray drive/nas and power inefficiency from power supply) I want to have this computer hooked up to a 80-120w solar panel, and make it my primary computer. Although I may just use a rx6400 if I don't care about gpu transcoding/encoding. Slightly more power inefficient, from what I've seen. But not sure if extra performance is worth it. Tried rx6300 and it would have worked, but it's 32bit bus makes most 3d games I tested get 15-35 fps. Where as a 6400, I can get 45-60fps on 3d games I tried.

[@Chad_at_Big_CAT_Networking]

You forgot to mention a crucial spec for this card. "PCI Express Configurations: PCI Express 4.0 x8" Nice to know we can slap this in a x8 slot if i needed to.

[@xrafter]

Keep in mind if you want to add this as a second gpu to your machine, then you must keep in mind that some motherboards cut the available lanes between the highest and second to highest x16 slots. Each would get x8 lanes.

To my knowledge, any GPU currently on the consumer market can run on an 4.0 8x slot. Even with a 4090, you only loose about 0.5 to 1% of performance, if used with an 4.0 8x pcie connection.

[@samiraperi467]

They can probably run in x1 slots if you are so inclined.

Thats's the point. Makes it perfect to split for HBA or ConnectX-5 that also only need x8.

Asrock has their A310 also at $99. The big issue is that unless you have a quadro, all of the consumer Nvidia cards are limited to the number of streams. The 380 is the sweet spot (IMHO) but more most users the 310 is perfect.

Thanks for this! I had been eying this for a low power trans-coding solution, but watching ETA prime's videos on it didn't really help for this specific use case. If I'm not mistaken, it uses a 8x PCIE, so hopefully no bi-furcation issues on older boards.

[@5467nick]

An x8, x4, or even x1 card will work in an x16 slot of the motherboard without bifurcation support. Where you run into trouble without bifurcation support is mostly things like cheap PCIe to quad m.2 adapters. Without bifurcation support, such adapters will only support a single m.2 SSD because the PCIe slot only supports one device regardless of how many lanes that one device is using.

[@Monarchias]

[@Casper042]

Codec = COder + DECoder Transcoding = Transform Codec, so Decode Codec/Quality A and then Encode again in Codec/Quality B

[@LtGen.Failure]

I'm already running one of these in my homeserver to support the aged xeon E5 ivy bridge cpu with some hardware transcoding in jellyfin. It's running in a linux vm on TrueNAS. Works like a charm and i'm verry happy with it. the only negative thing is the fan. it's not loud but a little bit annoying. I wish the card were a little big bigger so it would fit a bigger fan. But it's single slot, low power and supports av1 and therefore it is the best card for my media server.

[@Moonlight_Tide]

Wet wipes: "Whoa Brett it's so tiny" Lazerpig: "Because tiny gun, how can work"

[@zues121510]

Another option can be getting a DIY Chinese motherboard where they solder a powerful but super efficient high end laptop processor on a desktop motherboard. The one I'm interested in will come with the same codec engine as this card in the iris xe integrated graphics, the CPU has good single core performance comparable to a 11900k and it has a TDP of 28w, it can also handle about a dozen 4k to 1080p Plex transcodes in the most optimal conditions, the single core performance would make it perfect for a Minecraft server too. Best of all it's only around 150 bucks, for a good CPU, mATX motherboard and GPU combo. Buying used parts for this price will get me nowhere as close in efficiency or performance to this.

Great Testing, all i wanted to know about the Arc A310 in 8Minutes- keen on trying out a 310 myself

[@ErazerPT]

It's a nice little market for them, for sure. They could carve another niche if they managed to get good Tensorflow/PyTorch support and put out 16/24GB mid tier cards at a reasonable price, as high ram mid gpu is a battleground nobody entered yet, and many ML enthusiasts would love to have larger models without the "premium cost" of the high end gpu, and at least Nvidia, doesn't seem to care about "budget users" anymore. How the wheels have turned...

[@brandonl4511]

What's the idle power consumption of this in a headless server if used just for transcoding? I had old gaming GPUs in my server but they'd be using 20W not connected to anything or doing anything so I eventually ditched them...

[@jeffnew1213]

The Arc A310 is back in stock at Amazon as I write this (6/12/2024), if anyone wants one. I'll be using it in an MS-01 running ESXi and passing it through to a Windows Plex VM.

[@LemmingOverlord]

would've been great to highlight that decoding and encoding are two different beasts. Many GPUs support decoding a variety of codecs, but not necessarily the encoding. Transcoding requires decoding AND encoding, which is what makes the A310 a class act. It's a single slot, 50W GPU that can encode/decode AV1 at will.

[@june5646]

Please adjust your completely arbitrary numbers for the HEVC, its 2 or 3 times higher in efficiency even at real time processing if your cpu does it, AV1 is the problem, barely any CPUs or GPUs do encode on a HW level, unless you wanna go Intel ARC

[@ivypls]

Did you do any idle power consumption testing? First gen arc is notorious for high idle consumption, and that really takes away from the $99 price tag in expensive energy regions :(

Heard the sparkle arc cards have issue with fan speed curve. Got me an asrock A380 for that extra quality boost (but still low power). Wish we had more single slot options.

[@louis_irl]

Can confirm. I have this card and the fan cycles on and off every 10-20 seconds when idle. You can clearly hear it if you're in the same room, so it's really annoying. If you're running Windows you should be able to control it in software, but Arc cards don't have temperature or fan monitoring on Linux yet. I ended up soldering a cable from a case fan to it so it could be run off the motherboard instead. Don't have any way of knowing whether it's overheating, but it's been running great for transcoding since.

[@brandonchappell1535]

legend!! i been looking for something smaller than my RTX3060 i have in there now, i may have found it. I was also considering a nvidia tesla P4 with the fan mod on the end, as it has dual encoders, for simultaneous encoding, is single slot with no power also. decisions decisions.

[@7MBoosted]

That is because the encoder/decoder on Polaris cards is objectively not very good. I am not sure about jellyfin, but plex doesn't even support the AMD encoder because of its historical lack of quality/performance. Also, as far as I know, there are some extra steps you have to jump through to get hardware transcoding working on jellyfin. AFAIK what hoops you have to jump through depends on what platform you are installed on.

Thanks for showing this! Been thinking of getting an A350 for my server, however, I guess the A310 is absolutely sufficient. As for my main machine, I might pick up one, too. Currently rocking the RTX 3090 (got it right after the crash for a good price) which is definitely not a bad card. The only problem: It can't transcode AV1 which is a shame. I'd probably plug in another 310 for AV1 contents. I just love the efficiency of AV1 and I guess, for most of my recordings and stuff, AV1 will suffice. Definitely an add for me. At least one of them :D Will be used for Jellyfin, immich & automagic timelapses from my terraria. One question, though, have you tried it with some kind of machine learning workloads? Specifically something along the lines of FrigateNVR or plain image recognition? I know, cards like the A770 would be better suited however, I'd also be interested in how this card holds up.

[@stopcreepingyouweirdo]

At this price point for transcoding, I still prefer the Tesla P4 with 8GB memory. I have three in my Plex server on Unraid and the entire lot can be seen by docker containers; the nvidia-smi functionality even allows for auto-balancing the load.
