Hi All,

 

A friend of mine is very much into photography, and wants a new desktop to run three 4K monitors he has just purchased (see model above)   The only inputs are DP and HDMI, I am ideally looking for a GPU recommendation that would work.  Since the PC will not be used for gaming, and the refresh rate on then monitors is only 60hz (at 4K) do I really need a high end GPU just for photos and genreal usage?  Shopping around I found the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB Video Card, GV-N105TOC-4GL.  This seems to have enough outputs and is quite cheap.  Should I recommed this card or am I making a mistake?
