My off-line music computer is also the photography computer. The latest upgrade to my photographic program, On 1 Photo Raw, made my video card obsolete, in other words it is not powerful enough to use all of the program's functions. Thus I would like to purchase new video card.

IIRC in the past some video card drivers would mess up audio drivers. Since music is the number one thing for this computer I don't want that to happen. So my question is is that still true? If so what video cards should I avoid?

FYI what I am looking for is a video card with OpenGL 4.2 compatible video card with 2+ GB dedicated VRAM, 1920x1080 resolution (at 100% scale factor). I would probably go with one with 4 gigs of VRAM. Any suggestions? (Yes my monitor can handle that resolution)

Thanx in advance for your wisdom, knowledge, and time.
