What is a good value gpu I can add to this desktop? It's running Blue Iris with Codproject AI

I'm currently getting a lot of timeout errors and delays processing the analysis. What GPU can I add to this? Please advise.
Need more info. What OS? Does your software even support offloading to GPU? What kinds of GPU do they support and for what types of workloads?
It's running windows 10. The software code project ai supports gpus with cuda support, which I assume are Nvidia cards. I'm using it currently only for blue iris to monitor my security cameras. Blue iris uses code project ai for object detections like human, animals, etc. It has been running okay for a couple of years without GPU, but I think adding a GPU would definitely improve performance and speed.
Then you need an Nvidia card. If you're not using it for gaming and just inference, a lower-end RTX 30XX will get you what you want.
GPU will not improve performance for the surveillance software, just add inference. In fact, adding inference may even slow it down depending on what models it's using (I'm assuming some variant of Yolo), and how deep you have object detection going. It's also going to raise your power usage quite a bit, so I'd check the PSU in that machine and make sure that it can handle it. I think the RTX 3050's can be powered by PCIE slot alone by this point, but you'd better double check whatever card youre considering to be certain. Also check if it even has space for the card.
