As for a budget GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 might be for you. You could also take a look at AMD or Intel. I just recommend NVIDIA ones to you because I'm not that super familiar with the latter two.
The problem is that very old cards usually do not get new driver updates anymore. I tend to recommend cards that are still supported by its manufacturer.
Also, they all say "gamer GPU" because that's what these GPUs are normally meant for, but they're also good for office endeavours.

Hi! Kontakt 7 requires a graphics card that supports Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_0) or higher. Just use this information for filtering cards in your shop (and filter them by lower price). And any of them will be good for Windows 10.

Thanks, guys 🙂
Most everything I google for these specs throws up gaming gpus for £££. Have found some cheaper ones on Amazon saying they are DIRECT X 11, as do some of the £££ ones, but not clear if they are Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_0) or not.
e.g.

Any ideas?

Never heard of that specific brand/manufacturer, but it looks pretty suspicious to me - especially because of its price. Better avoid it.
Common (trustworthy) GPU brands/manufacturers are (apart from NVIDIA and AMD themselves) ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, Palit and Zotac - among others.
You could go with e.g.:

Many thanks for taking the time to share your suggestions, Monochrome 🙋
However not being a gamer (and having a desktop getting on in years) I can't justify a £100+ g card.
Surely there are budget cards that will simply run K7? 🤞🙏
Or am I living in a dream (again)? 🙂

Yep the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 looks great, we're in the right ball park now. All the specs are right, just need to find one with drivers for Windows 10 👍
Many thanks 🙂
