UNRAID 6.8.0-rc1 w/nvidia - remove 2 stream limit?

So I am new to unraid and got it up and running using the nvidia plugin and plex transcode but I have the stupid 2 stream limit. Anyone know how to patch that so I can get unlimited (max I would ever need is about 8)

I have an RTX 1070 in the server.

Or would I be better off getting a quattro P card. Also it would be 4k streams that I would be doing.

For simplicity I’ll link the current patch.sh in a wget friendly format: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/master/patch.sh

Login to unRAID on a terminal as root, 

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/master/patch.sh 

chmod +x patch.sh

./patch.sh

Verify it patches on the output. 

watch -n 0.2 nvidia-smi

This command allows you to see any process that is using your gpu. You should see plex transcoder show up.

Question about this I haven’t gotten a for sure answer on. Does your CPU have to be Quick Sync capable for you to be able to use a GPU for hardware transcoding? I have an older Dell R510 who’s cpu can’t do quick sync, but I want to put something in to hardware transcode.
