I have been running a GigaByte Aorus Ultra with a Radion 5 3400G. I have a Sabrent PCIe4.0 1 TB NVME which is only running at PCIe 3.0 speeds. It is time to upgrade to a Ryzen 9 5800x which will support PCIe 4.0. I will need a new graphics card since I will no longer have on CPU graphics.
I am a software engineer. I have a single 55" 4K 60hz monitor. I run several VMware virtuals under Windows 11 on this workstation. I do not play any games. Drive speed is king and processor speed is a distant second. Graphics speed is of little concern.
I need a cheap single port HDMI video card that will support 4K 60hz WITH sound on Windows 11. A used/refurb/pull card is fine with me.
I found this VisonTek dual DP 1.2 card with sound (Sound over DP is news to me) but it looks like it would take a funky cable to support the HDMI port on my 55" monitor (Samsung curved TV actually not a monitor). I would rather keep stuff simple and just use one of the dozen HDMI 2.0 cables I already have.

What do you guys recommend?
P.S. After a little more looking around and finding a similar post on this forum it looks like an ASUS GeForce GT-730 would fit my needs? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce...s/dp/B09GP8989B/ref=psdc_284822_t4_B0716ZH99K
Any reason to get a GeForce DT-1130 instead? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GT1030-2G-CSM/dp/B0716ZH99K/ref=sr_1_3?crid=726WF2U5K6HV&keywords=gt+1030&qid=1651532819&s=electronics&sprefix=gt+1030,electronics,555&sr=1-3&th=1
Any reason not to for the few extra $$?
What about a GeForce GT-1150? Does the extra money really buy me anything? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Gef...030&qid=1651533256&s=electronics&sr=1-49&th=1
I have been using ATI cards for quite a while and have pretty much no NVidia experience.
Thank you!
