Built-in: do you even need an add-on?
Its Intel UHD (32 EU) iGPU transcodes about 5 concurrent 4K streams (Plex/Jellyfin). It also runs Frigate detection via the iGPU (OpenVINO) - for most homelab use you don't need an add-on accelerator.
Estimates - curated and approximate; verify before buying.
Platform support
- Proxmox VE: supported - install: easy
Watch out
- NIC bug Intel I225/I226 NIC - some steppings report intermittent link drops; usually mitigated by a driver/firmware update or disabling EEE.
