Basically just lets my Plex server transcode more streams at once without having a Quadro.

And... why do you need your Plex server transcoding multiple streams? Just curious!

I've got many users on it and 3 or 4 simultaneous streams is not an uncommon occurrence. Nvenc is artificially limited to 2 on consumer cards.
