Your graphics card has nothing to do with transcoding. You need to go read up on what transcoding is. Transcoding in Plex is strictly CPU bound. It is more loading than just watching the video.
I'm aware that the transcoding is a CPU matter...
I'm just saying that it seems there's no reason for transcoding if my HTPC can handle this kind of file.
BTW I'm planning to use XBMC
Now, if I'm wrong about what I wrote up here, I think I have not understood which specification determines which Machines need or not transcoding.
Based on what criteria I can be sure that a devices is able to play an mp4 file so the transcoding isn't need?
It's seems strange to me that a 1.8 Ghz Intel Atom PC can't handle HD files through DLNA whereas it's been proved that a Raspberry Pi (800Mhz Broadcom CPU) can...
