Hi, I am hoping to buy a 75" 8k TV for use as a monitor to replace my 65" 4k TV. I do not play any games so my requirement is pretty basic. All I want to is to get resolution at least 7680x4320@60 Hz. Are there any budget graphics card that would suit me? Any recommendation will help.

If wanting to use HDMI then to achieve 8k 60Hz you need a gpu with HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.0 only supports up to 8k 30Hz. The cheapest cards that I know of that support HDMI 2.1 are the latest generation starting at the NVIDIA 3060 and above or the AMD 6600 and above. With the current gpu prices neither are what I would call cheap.

In theory you should be able to use an adapter for display port to hdmi 2.1 on a cheaper card but I have no experience with them and they are not the cheapest https://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPortTM1-4-HDMITM-4K120Hz-Active-Adapter/dp/B08BC8LV3M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=38H84CZ8HTH7J&keywords=club3d+videoanschluß+-+displayport+/+hdmi&qid=1636279801&sprefix=club+3d+videoanschluß+-+displayport+/+hdmi,aps,71&sr=8-4

Please define what you're interpretation of budget is. In this point of time, nothing is going to be cheap, even cheap cards have ended up being sold for twice or thrice their original price. If we keep the topic of budget aside and you're able to source a brand new card without ruining someone's life, then I'd suggest a GTX1650. You're still going to need a reliably built PSU that can output 450W to the entire system.
