Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

It's too old to help with transcoding, I'm afraid, so probably won't aid your server in any way.

Well, shucks.

What do you think would be the minimum entry-point to adding a GPU then? I'm reluctant to adding a full sized double/triple-fan current gen GPU to the server because I don't want to increase its idle draw beyond reason.

easiest is just to get a newer intel i3 with iGPU.

transcodes everything and is very fast at it as well with quicksync. and uses a low amount of power.
