How much does GPU mater for a PC based NVR?

[droidvoider 0]

Most threads I Google up regarding pc based NVR parts recommendations don't speak to the video card. Does it not matter?

 

Here's a thread with parts I like

P.S. I'm older now and I don't follow the evolution of computers these days. Am I missing anything or will that computer kick ass for 12 cameras max?

Why not buying a already designed NVR, Dahua NVR are not expensive and already designed for that task. There are also custom made software to monitor your NVR channels and display the videos.

 

Anyway, if you are not rendering 3d images, or transcoding video, I think you don't really need a GPU.
