Need a better video card please, difficulty inside

This is not for gaming, but rather Sony Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum (yeah, a mouthful. Specs here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-movie-studio/specifications/#productMenu)

 

Working with 4k footage, and the 750 Ti in the system isn't cutting it.

This will not be a gaming system, but there are space limitations. Triple wide cards won't fit (itx cube case) so I feel a single fan nVidia (nVidia only please, the software is crashy under AMD) card would be ideal.

 

USA budget of about 200$, 150$ is I can get away with it.

 

According to the specs:

For hardware rendering (NVEnc):

NVIDIA®  GeForce 9XX series or higher with 4GB

 

From what I know, the 4GB (or more vRAM) is critical. I assume a 9xx card isn't made any more new. I was thinking 1050/1080, but I am certainly open to suggestions.

you can get some pretty small footprint cards for that budget

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I thought the 1650 sucked as a GFX card, or was that just for gaming?

This is the 1650 super 

Its a whole different card. Faster better frame buffer ( still same size ) more cuda cores 

It's not even close to being a 1650.

1650 super is on par with RX 580 for the most part. The 1650 regular is pretty bad.

 

you did say no gaming though.

Thank you for the enlightenment.

I know this is going to be a trick to answer, since it's non-gaming, but would moving up to the 1660-series, be worth the cost, or is it only a minor improvement?

more cuda cores means better acceleration, would be a worthwhile bump

Gtx 1660 would be the minimum imo, as it has 6gb of vram, which is needed for 4k if you do some more advanced editing. 4gb 1650 would also work, but imo it is borderline

I only see your reply if you @ me.
