Honestly, I was just waiting for them to flop so that I could buy some cheap cards for hardware encoding on my jellyfin server. I don’t want to buy a $500+ GPU just for transcoding, and the AV1 support was really nice.
If their drivers and stuff for Battlemage turn out to be half decent, I might get one for my wife’s computer, as she’s still on a 1660 Super
I just picked up an A310 for my Emby server for $100 on Amazon. Works amazing. No artificial transcode limit like Nvidia. And hardware decoding for everything through AV1. Haven’t had an issue with anything since getting it installed.

If AV1 encoding is your goal, just pick up a few A310 and you are good to go. They are around ~$100. Same performance as latest $1000+ GPUs.
Intel gpus ship the same 2 XE decoding/encoding cores on the entire series, so for jellyfin an A380 is just as good as a A770
Yeah, I’ll probably pick up an A310 for the jellyfin server, and possibly a Battlemage for my wife’s machine; as she plays Minecraft and ARK on it.
