You have a fairly good video card as described by Google'/s AI quote:

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is an 8GB GDDR6 graphics card released in August 2021, designed for high-performance 1080p gaming and efficient 1440p performance. Featuring 32 compute units and 32MB of Infinity Cache, it delivers excellent value, often outperforming the RTX 3060 in certain titles while maintaining a 160W TDP.

 

You mentioned video editing.  If you upgrade to an nVidia graphics card you willl be able to take advantqage of applications that use CUDA

I use Nero for editing and have an rtx-5070 although my motherboard is only PCIe gen3 and the 5070 is gen5.

 

You might consider the RTX-5060

 

Our upgrade expert @NonSequitur777 might be able to recommend other upgrade.  Some video card upgrades might required a more powerfull power supply.  Some of the newer RTX card might need a power cable adapter if the card has a different type of connector.

@BeemerBiker,

 

Good to hear from you!

 

@dcdd1,

 

At least based on almost 800 user benchmarks as found here, I am not sure if your PC as fitted with the Hana motherboard (SSID: 8876) is compatible with the RTX 50xx series graphics cards. That would be the same issue as what happened to my HP Pavilion TP01-3003w (fitted with the Reno motherboard with SSID: 89B5), which also is not compatible with RTX 50xx cards.

 

In order to suggest a graphics card upgrade, I would need to know what wattage your power supply is.  And yes, I would definitely consider upgrading your processor to a Ryzen 7 5700G.

 

Kind Regards,

 

NonSequitur777
