Since you are not gaming but are doing video editing, I'd stick with Nvidia cards because most of the software out there for video editing works better on Nvidia hardware.

I'm guessing part of the reason you are having lagging and slowdowns is because you are running out of GPU memory and/or are running into memory bandwidth problems. A newer GPU with faster memory and and a more modern GPU architecture should help.

I'd recommend a RTX 2060 Super to you. It costs $400 and comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. That should be a sizable performance upgrade for you.
