GPU not for games for two 4K/240Hz monitors?

[kokos76]

Hello. Please help me choose a video card for two 4K monitors with a higher refresh rate, like 240 Hz. I don't know yet what kind of monitors these will be. I want to experiment and choose options that are comfortable for my eyesight. CPU Ryzen 9 9900x, 32gb RAM, MB pcie 5.0. It's set for home office and programming. Games are not a priority. What kind of video card should I get for these purposes? I've never had a discrete video card, 4K monitors, or monitors with a refresh rate higher than 70 Hz. I'm looking at GeForce. Will 5070 be enough?

So what is a priority?

On the assumption you meant that these are priorities:

Nothing besides RTX 5090 will even come close to achieving dual 4K240 in modern games. That's if you use DLSS Transformer Quality and have frame generation enabled. At minimum you need a RTX 5070 Ti/9070XT for a single 4K display with high refresh ambitions.

Native rendering with no FG, you're looking at 100 FPS max if rendering on both monitors concurrently with graphics set to maximum, with a 5090. More realistically you'll be lucky to consistently keep it above 60 FPS.

Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I've already made changes to the text.

Anything modern will do, as long as the card has sufficient outputs.
The Windows refresh rate won't be an issue for modern cards.
Save your money and get something cheaper if you're not going to game.
The Intel Arc B580 supports DP 2.1 and would suit your needs outside of gaming.

If you're looking to run native resolution and refresh without DSC the only choice is the 50 series. AMD and Intel are both using UHBR13.5 and 4k/240 needs UHBR20. As for what card to get any of the 50 series cards can do it because they all use the same display engine. All you need to do is decide on what level of performance you need from the card.

If you don't care about DSC being used then pretty much any recent card from any company will do.

Yep. If OP was considering a RTX 5070 12 GB that would be fine, but TBH I'd go for a 5060 Ti 16 GB with a decent build quality, save $150 and have no difference for the jobs he does, but have 4 GB extra VRAM in case he does anything CUDA that likes VRAM.

The Arc B580 would also be sufficient, but the idle/load power draw is higher and it doesn't have some of the niceties that the NVIDIA cards have.

My bad, entirely forgot about that, which is really kind of stupid as well, but it is what it is.
