Limit your search to cards with 4GB memory and that will exclude the 
overpriced mining cards.

Am running a new nvidia 1650 series card here with no issues, and doing 
h264 encoding of the output at the same time. Under $300 if you look around.

e.g. https://www.pc-canada.com/item/PH%2DGTX1650%2DO4GD6.html - those 
are nice because they are powered solely by the PCIe slot, so no extra 
GPU cable needed.
