QSV can be used together with VA-API and DXVA/D3D11VA for a more flexible hybrid transcoding pipeline.

:::caution

**ICL** (Ice Lake) / **JSL** (Jasper Lake) / **EHL** (Elkhart Lake) and older generations are losing support for QSV on Linux, since the MediaSDK runtime has been deprecated by Intel, and may stop working in a few years, by which point you will have to switch to VA-API. Please use newer hardware if you are shopping for hardware.

:::note

- Unlike NVIDIA NVENC, there is no concurrent encoding sessions limit on Intel iGPU and ARC dGPU.

If you are not planning to use a dedicated graphics card, the following specs are recommended:

- CPU: Intel Core i3-7100, Apple M series or newer (excluding Intel J/M/N/Y series up to 11th gen)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-11400, Intel Pentium Gold G7400, Apple M series or newer (excluding Intel J/M/N/Y series up to 11th gen)
- RAM: 8GB System RAM (Consider adding more on Windows 11)
- Graphics: Intel HD 630, Apple M series or newer
- Graphics: Intel UHD 710, Apple M series or newer

AMD is **NOT** recommended if you plan to use integrated graphics for Jellyfin.

:::caution

Intel 7-10th gen CPUs have been removed from this list, since the toolkit for these generations has been deprecated by Intel. QSV on Linux for these iGPUs may stop working in a few years. You will be required to switch to VA-API when that happens.

If you are planning to use Linux with Intel 12/13th Gen integrated graphics or ARC, these GPUs only work on Linux Kernel 6.2 or newer. Please check your distribution to make sure it has a supported Linux Kernel version. Please read [Known Intel limitations on Linux](/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/known-issues#intel-on-linux) for more info.

:::caution

Intel 10th gen and older integrated graphics are losing support for QSV on Linux due to the SDK for these platforms being deprecated by Intel. Please choose a newer CPU if you plan on using Intel integrated graphics.
