Suggested video card for Movie Edit Pro

Is there a list of suggested or even tested video cards for use with this software? I'm about to buy a W10, i9 machine with oodles of ram, etc, but I want to make sure that I get the best performance when editing 4k videos. Can anyone suggest a video card that they know to be good in this respect?

Hi

. . . . Can anyone suggest a video card that they know to be good in this respect? . . . .

That is, IMHO, a very loaded question and you will get many opinions on what you should get.

The actual performance you see, which will depend greatly on what effects etc are on the timeline and whether you are exporting out to 4K or scaling down to another resolution, eg for Blu-Ray.

My computer spec is in my signature - the only change I am going to make to improve its performance, it is to replace 2 of the HD drives with SSD.
