Default GPU Recommendations wanted

I built a new computer for my PT - Windows - I'm using an Asus Prime Z390-A MB and i7-9700k CPU. The MB has video built-in but I'm looking for recommendations for adding an additional GPU for extra monitors. I'm doing audio-only (as of right now). I've upgraded from an HPZ420 computer. I know AVID used to have a list of approved video cards but I can't seem to find that page on the website. Any help is appreciated.

If you are not doing video in Pro Tools, then really any NVidia or AMD card that meets your connection needs will do. Pro Tools by itself is not very GPU intensive and most of the plug-ins will run fine on a middle tier card.
I use an older G-Force 1050 and it runs just fine.

I have an 8 year old 4th gen i7 and a fanless Nvidia GT640. No GUI issues and I do occasionally import videos for Described Video - some over 2 hours long.

I'm using a (lowly) NVIDIA GT710 to drive 3 monitors @ 1080P. Works! If I was shopping today, however, I'd get a good NVIDEA with 6GB or more.
