So, the motherboard that I'm using for my i7-2600 is failing. Integrated network is spotty, the primary PCI-e slot is sketchy at best. It's time to replace the entire thing, really. I want to get ten years out of the next build. The primary use for this system is ripping discs that I purchase for the digital library. I'm part way through a 1800 disc library. I won't reuse much, maybe not even the 2TB platter drive that's in it. Only the optical drives will be reused.
What I'm looking at is a second gen AMD Threadripper 12-core with 64GB DDR4-3200, and several solid state drives in RAID, with a 10Gb fibre connection (that I already have) for the LAN. I use DVDFab to rip my physical to digital. What I really need help with is hardware acceleration. Video cards are my trouble. I'm not up to date with a lot of this, yet, though I have done some research. I'm leaning toward an RTX2070 for this build. Obviously, when ripping a library like this, time matters.
In case it matters, probably two thirds of what I rip is UHD, though there are still enough 1080 discs to rip. I rip to h265 MKV files. The question becomes, what video card will offer the best assistance with the speed of the rip? Price matters a little...the card I have chosen is $390. In the sub-$500 range, what card will serve me best in this usage? Thanks.
