First time buying a GPU so a bit lost as to what to buy, any advice would be appreciated. Just bought a GoPro and can't view the footage recorded on higher quality setting (4K 60FPS, 1080 240FPS etc recorded in HEVC), so decided I need a graphics card to edit my footage. I assume this is the issue, unless anyone has any other suggestions? I'm looking to shoot in 4K and then probably cut down to 1080 or 1440 in editing, although perhaps keep some footage at 4K. I'm currently running a 3440 x 1440 monitor off my computers inbuilt graphics with no GPU (no gaming currently). Looking to minimise costs for my needs really, without skimping too much.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: this week preferably
BUDGET RANGE: $50-$250 ideally (cheaper the better), unsure how much I need to spend for my needs. Happy to buy second hand, older generations etc (compatible with 4K hevc), I assume this would give better value for money.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:
4K video editing. Not picked a pogramme for editing yet (advice also appreciated) but something free/cheap as only for recreational video making. Videos are recorded in HEVC (H.265).
Don't currently use for gaming, may at some point buy COD or similar in the future for occasional use but not if it means spending much more on the GPU just for 1 or 2 games.
May at some point in the future connect a 4K TV instead of monitor to view videos at 4K every now and then.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY:
Running the monitor off inbuilty graphics currently.
Just bought an EVGA 750W B2 Bronze powersupply to replace my currently PSU, but haven't fitted it yet so can send back and get a more powerful supply if deemed necessary for the recommended GPU.
