Upgrading graphics card on Z800 to Play / Edit 4K Videos

[ceo_hernandez]

Hello.  I am new to this community and hopefully I can covey my issue correctly and get some help.

I am enjoying my hobby of upgrading my Z800 computer that I bought for $50 bucks from work (they were going to throw it away). Since then, I upgraded to windows 10, installed a second processor, memory, SSD+HDD, dual monitors and a few more things.

The main purpose of this computer is to transfer my Dad's old camera recordings (Hi8) to digital using fire-wire. I've done about 30 cassettes so far, with 70 more to go! This is special because he passed away and I want to play all the videos for the family.

ISSUE: Recently we've been doing home/school stuff, home photo editing and recently I want to play / edit 4k family videos from my GoPro. The computer can play the videos but I find there's some lag between the audio and video, also sometimes the video gets glitchy. I think It needs a better graphic card.

Has anybody used a better graphic card to play/edit 4k videos with the Z800?

THANKS!

Here’s my computer spec.

I have  Z600 same upgrades.

I can run any GPU made in mine, but not above on my , 6pin GPU power jack I have one, not sure on yours look side.

GTX1650 will this, (non super model is 75watts,

and GTX1050 tool both need no AUX power  needed 75watts max,

faster cards are more expensive, you are only doing 2D so you only need  faster 2d mode cards.

Im sure you can do well here, with any card w10 supports,  Nvidia series 700 up.  below does not support w10 64bit.

NVIDIA Quadro 2000, does 5-FPS; the above do more than 10times that.

yours is as slow as they go. and be w10 supported.
