I'm getting an HP Elitedesk 800 g3 SFF. I'm looking for a mid-range budget friendly low profile card for streaming, and basic video & graphics editing (no gaming). I need 3 ports: 1 HDMI (for streaming) and 2 Display Ports. Recommendations appreciated.
 
$100 A380 is a winner if OP's software supports it.

If money is tight, and Nvidia having the best software support wins: I guess you could go jank, and get a cheap quadro with 4 mini DP and use adapters.
 
My brain was stuck on ITX. Good catch Larry. In my defense, I did just wake up and still on my first cup of tea.

I am surprised that those 6th gen i5 systems are so popular now. 4 threads in late '23. The i7 version is okay.

You kidding? The reason those HP SFF Skylake rigs is because they are so dirt cheap!

Why do you think they are so cheap? You get what you pay for. Better off buying an old Xeon box for not much more. Or AM4 variants. I've seen the Pro 2400G SFF model for $99 shipped. We've been over this. It's great the system will avoid the landfill a little longer. It still won't change my position that it's basically renting something for too much money. Soon a 6th gen i5 won't be dirt cheap, it'll be worthless.

On topic: Cheap Qaudro will get the best software support for vid and graphics editing.

After looking at the specs the G5 looks like a better option for not much more with processor options up to i9 9900. Can't imagine needing more than that.
