The cheap card I bought is a gt710/730 with gddr5 (4 or 3 does not have the encoder), this card is rated at 8x real time 1080 but I don't believe will do 4k. The best place to read about these cards is either on the OBS website or the various video gamer websites as they like to broadcast their games in real time and so need powerful encoders to do it. Check that website from nvidia and if you do some other research, my card is a 1st gen nvenc card and rated at 8x(1080), the 2nd gen is rated at 16x(1080) and I believe the 3rd gen is rated at 8x(4k). It is a bit tricky to determine which card is which gen, the easiest way to tell is to look at the memory type/speed and look at the number of texture units. Based on what my card does a 3rdgen card should be able to exceed real-time on 4k video. My card does 2-3x real time (about equal to a 4-6 core processor), so I would expect the 3rd gen card to be at least equal to a 12-18 core cpu. It should also be noted that the nvidia cards do a whole lot less power than using the cpu.
