I was having some dropped frame issues on my PC, and my phones video is pretty much unusable so I figured its probably a lack of hardware acceleration. Is it worth it to buy an Intel A380 which I’ve found for $120, or is it not worth it? For reference I currently have an i5 8600k and 16gb of RAM running Ubuntu Server headlessly.

    Ok sweet, I think I’m going to get it because the igpu just isn’t cutting it. My current setup just doesn’t seem capable of doing 4k playback so it’d be great to get that.

      I’ve tested it with the jellyfish test files, IIRC it can easily transcode the 120Mbits per second 4k video to 1080p!
