    Failed Nvidea card what should i buy to replace ? thanks

    hi all, my 5.5year old Nvidea GTX 560 failed recently causing bluescreen errors etc, ive removed it from cyberpower pc
    that has an ASUS P8Z68-V LX motherboard from belarc advisor tool it says its an Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8Z68-V LX Rev X.0x , Bus Clock: 100 megahertz, heres link to info on it asus dot com /Motherboards/P8Z68V_LX/[/url] in specs here
    asus dot com /Motherboards/P8Z68V_LX/specifications/[/url] it shows it has 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (blue) *1
    1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) *1
    2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
    3 x PCI


    now ive bought a 4k panasonic camcorder that recommends at least 8gb memory so i used crucial.com to find more ddr3 memory for my pc ( ive bought 8gb on 1 stick so ill have 12gb total, im told some of the editing of videos is done on a graphics card so what graphics card can my pc take ?
    can any graphics card go in a PCIe slot ??

    im looking at Nvidea here geforce dot com /hardware[/url] but i dont know what i need..1050/1060/1070/1080ti ?????? prices seem to be between £150 - £700

    any help appreciated thanks ( remember ill have 12gb ram fitted soon so how powerful a graphics card will i need to edit 4k videos ??

    Please run CPU-Z so you can tell us your CPU model number??

    What software are you using and do you play any games??

    Also ideally you really want to be running RAM in dual channel,so if you have an odd number of RAM sticks the RAM will most probably default to single channel mode.

    ok ill try out the 8gb ram when i get it along with the 2x2gb i already have and let you know if its detected ok or not thanks

    That depends on your video editing package. Some do, some don't.

    Video editing is not like gaming or 3D rendering where a graphics processor is absolutely essential though.

    I would try it using your system's integrated graphics. If you find it too slow in areas where you video editing program can use GPU acceleration then you can buy a new card.

    well the Panasonic Camcorder i own is this model here amazon dot co dot uk /Panasonic-HC-VXF990EBK-Camcorder-Wireless-Function/dp/B01AAGIKAK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510269168&sr=8-1&keywords=panasonic+4k+camcorder

    in the box they tell us we can download their own software from here av.jpn.support.panasonic dot com /support/global/cs/soft/download/f_ae54.html software is called HD Writer, ive no idea if it uses a graphics card to help !
    but ive not downloaded/used it yet ive only had camcorder a few weeks, i am open to buying any software any1 can show me is the best to get as i must learn to edit 4k footage as file sizes are massive so i must be able to upload/send clips to people that arnt crazy huge as sometimes at airshows etc i film for 25minutes in 1 take !!! in 4k that may end up as about a 12gb file !!

    thanks for any help : )

    I wouldn't expect bundled software like that to have lots of fancy features. It may support Quicksync/NVENC/VCE for encoding but I'd expect the editing to be CPU-only. I can't find a great deal of information on it.

    What do you use for your video editing currently?

    If you don't game,then either use the IGP,or buy something like a GT1030 which actually has hardware to decode some of the newer codecs like h265.
