The upcoming version of CloneBD will support various GPU acceleration modes.
I've run some benchmarks with an internal test version, that Elby provided us with:
- Test bed: Intel i7-6700 with integrated Intel HD 530 GPU
- Source and destination both SSD to reduce I/O impact on speed
- AVC 1080p to MKV 1080p (compressed down to ~75%), 1:59h video duration
So, the type of graphics adapter does matter quite a bit, as you can see. Note that the GTX 950 costs around 140-160 USD, so it's still affordable.
I find 9 minutes for transcoding a full 2-hour movie pretty impressive.
Note also, that AMD cards will be supported as well, so nobody will be left out, but the implementation was not ready at the time we tested this.
I'd expect similar results as with the nVidia family, we'll have to wait and see.

- AVC 1080p to MKV 1080p (compressed down to ~75%), 1:59h video duration
- "conventional" transcoding in software mode:
92 fps average @ 90% CPU, total duration: 31 min
- acceleration with on-board Intel HD530:
209 fps @ 24% CPU, total duration: 13 min
- acceleration with nVidia GeForce GT 740:
123 fps @ 7% CPU, total duration: 23 min
- acceleration with nVidia GeForce GTX 950:
308 fps @ 17% CPU, total duration: 9 minutes!
