Compatible GPU card for transcoding on TS-673A / TS-873A

picked up a PH-GTX1050TI-4G card used on eBay and now the HW transcoding is 7-8x faster and watching 4K HEVC stream works without issues.

Many people will consider a new 73A model with a dedicated PCIe graphics card.
The card that works is : PH-GTX1050TI-4G
In UK it costs around £220 https://amzn.to/3aP39OP
In USA similar in dollars: https://amzn.to/2ZKa2dM

It can cope with 4K and 8K displays thanks to a native HDMI 2.0b. Digital Max Resolution 7680 x 4320.

If you do not connect via HDMI you can easily stream via 1GbE with no problems.
