Is there any benefit in passing through an old-ish GPU to the server VM? (infosec.pub)

Hi! While looking for an answer I stumbled upon this old reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/107e03d/gt_710_vs_ryzen_7_3700x/

I unfortunately do not know how to interpret the information provided by nyanmisaka there.

Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

easiest is just to get a newer intel i3 with iGPU.

transcodes everything and is very fast at it as well with quicksync. and uses a low amount of power.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I will keep it in mind but it's not very practicable for me right now, unfortunately, as I'm not looking to replace my whole server setup, I was only looking for a possible upgrade path for the Jellyfin VM on my ESXi server via an empty pcie slot.
