I need help on finding the right Graphics Card for my computer. I have an HP Envy DESKTOP-OFQ5MLB computer. I use it for video editing and upscaling SD video to 4K. My graphics card has only 2GB of RAM and I need a graphics card with at least 6 GB of RAM. Any help is appreciated.

I had a 4070 Ti. $850. I returned it (still within my best buy return window) and chose the XFX Speedster Merc310 RX 7900XT. I went from 12GB VRAM to 20GB. Performance increased, frames increased. I will never go back to Nvidia. I saved $100 doing this exchange. It was $750. I'm not paying for a name anymore, like with Apple. I would recommend this card to anyone, and I would recommend AMD cards in general to anyone who has been afraid to try team red or hasn't tried AMD. Their cards are superior in my experience.

It would help us to know what CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU and PSU is in your HP Envy desktop computer.  Looking for it with that model number is just a mess.  Does your motherboard support PCIe 4.0, or is it limited to PCIe 3.0?  

If your computer will support the RX 7900 XT, I also recommend that, but it might be out of your price range at $700 USD.  You could probably use the RX 7800 XT too and they are closer to $500 USD.  But will these fit into your motherboard and into your HP Envy case?  We have no way of knowing that without more information from you.

BE careful, these prebuilts from HP and others like Dell do have some limitations. You could be severely restrained by a proprietary power supply and thus limited to a lower graphic card tier.

Example, if its a 500watt at most, you wont put a RX6700 even if it fits. Not mentioning if its a SFF case.

Another thing to consider, an old CPU Will cause severe bottleneck on a recent GPU.

Very true.  I remember the problems with upgrading Dell computers in the past - they had proprietary power supplies and weird clamshell cases.
