What it can do (approx)
- Frigate: ~25 cameras at 5 fps detection.
- Plex/Jellyfin: ~18 concurrent 1080p transcodes.
- Local LLM: up to ~33B (Q4).
Where it fits
Needs a box with a PCIe slot and enough power - most mini PCs can't take it, so plan a DIY build (a case + a real PSU).
Used LLM staple - 24GB cheap. Pascal, 250W, passive dual-slot: needs a fan shroud + DIY chassis. No display output.
Gotchas
- Bought used (eBay) - great value, but no warranty; check the fans and that NVENC session limits are patched.
Specs are curated and approximate; verify current pricing and driver/detector support before buying. Used-market cards carry no warranty.
