Any Graphics Cards compatible with a Z800 & PS2022?

I built a dual Xeon workstation and Quadro FX 3800 back in the day for 3D animation. The card was very good performance wise and met the OpenGL standards needed for 3D animation packages. I did start seeing how new graphics cards and computer systems became faster at rendering video (real time 3D visualization improvements took longer). From what I can glean, the main issue with that card now is that it can't support any current standard (apparently people are recommending you have a graphics card 4 years or less for GPU acceleration with PS 2022). You might need that if you want HDR output, running certain filters, or doing some exports. Depends on how large your photo files area and your workflow. The requirements say a GPU with DirectX 12 support. NVidia's site says GeForce 1060 and above support that.

Currently I do run PS 2022 on my current laptops (one Dell XPS with GeForce 3060 and another MacBook Pro). They are more expensive than your budget, so can't talk from personal experience about a budget setup. However, over a year ago I was running Adobe CC on a work laptop that just has a i7 processor with no dedicated GPU, and 8GB of RAM. I was surprised that I could actually edit photos and do some HD video work (certainly would save heavier 2D graphics and 4K video for something more "workstation" class).

Yeah, but if he's coming from a 12-year-old machine he'll be ecstatic with a modern, mid-priced system. Don't need to overthink it.

But you're helping him out a bunch. I don't want to get in the way of that at all. Carry on and thanks.

Sure, I'm just trying to lay out hardware needs based on workflow and the current demands of PS 2022 (maybe part of the new requirements are Adobe's planned obsolescence?). I do still have my big 12 year old workstation....probabl​y should backup what 3D files I haven't and recycle it. When I boot it, it works (overall operation is still quick....boot is slow because of the server class boot checks and RAID setup). I was amazed by how much I spent on it, and then just 4 years later getting a much cheaper quad core Dell Precision laptop with Quadro card in it. The graphics card had improved enough that the laptop was faster at rendering video than my expensive workstation. 3D rendering was still faster with the workstation, but surprisingly not by as much a margin as the price would have warranted. Nowadays I can understand video demands still needing most recent hardware (example being h.265 hardware acceleration).

My husband is willing to buy another tower, he's not willing to spend $$$ for new stuff. My husband is one of those guys who know how to find a miracle deal when nobody else can, sadly he's so busy at his new job and doesn't have time to help. He just told me to figure out the requirements that PS2022 needs and find a tower on Ebay, most likely refurbished.
I found this one:
https://www.ebay.com …dcb13a:g:e-IAAOSwcophr83-

The GPU it has is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
It has 32 GB of RAM

My only concern is the fact it's been refurbished, and if that would have any effect whatsoever on the GPU and compatibility with PS 2022.
Condition:
Seller refurbished:
Seller Notes:
“Tested for Key Functions, R2/Ready for Resale - The item is used and will have signs of normal usage - Most commonly minor scratches and/or scuffs and corner dings.”

At this moment all I really want is to be able to use PS 2022 to blend images with different exposures (one shot for the foreground, one shot for the sky) or focus stack for tack sharp images that have multiple subjects from foreground to background.
If there is another app or software I could use that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is user friendly... I'd give it a try, I just would rather use the same software that the outdoor/nature photographers I follow and learn from use, it makes it so easier when they're doing editing tutorials and using PS, I can follow them and learn quickly.

So I got that Dell tower, the one I linked in my last post.
At first I thought I was going to have send it back, it said driver needed to be updated and no available OpenCL... but upon reading and digging I discovered that I could download a driver with OpenCL and it worked!
I can use PS2022 now, at least for the time being ߙ
Thanks again everyone for the tips and advice!
