My graphics adapter isn't listed for Premiere

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti. GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card | GeForce

I bought it a couple years ago after a lot of research and was sure it was compatible with Premiere Pro CC 2015 but now I see it isn't listed for it, and also isn't listed for PP CC 2017.

Premiere Pro System Requirements for Mac OS and Windows

How bad is that?

I'm far from a power user. I use PP to create business videos for my own company's use and that's it, usually short, not complex, but sometimes a bit involved. Render time hasn't been a problem at all with shorter videos lately but those have mostly been just talking heads. When I'm on a serious project, time will matter.

Computer is HP EliteDesk 800 G1 running i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz with 16 GBH RAM. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I have a SSDs for OS/apps and some of the data.

Should I get a new card for better performance in PP and, if so, any suggestion for the next step up that's worth getting in the same ballpark price range ($100)?

Thanks!

    That list is pretty much useless anyway. So yes, forget about the list.

    That card is old enough that you would need to be on a relatively new driver to work well with PrPro. And we users don't actually get a "beta" release, although at times it may seem like we do ...

    I did update the driver to the latest version today from the NVIDIA website, without incident.

    Thanks very much for the help!

    New cards come out faster than Adobe can test and certify... if your card has 1Gig of video ram it should work... but do be aware that video drivers SOMETIMES cause problems, so you may need to update your video driver at the vendor site

    Thanks.

    Ironically, after issues I enoountered in the past with bugs when doing the NVIDIA driver updates whenever they were released -- which I found to be annoyingly frequent and which I learned were mainly for things like supporting games I'll never even dream of using -- I opted for not updating the NVIDIA drivers anymore. But it's been so long that maybe I should go ahead and give it another shot -- immediately after imaging my machine.

    But it seems there's potentially more to it than the video card drivers. The link you provided has this sentence in it:

    Some of the cards on that list are only enabled if you have the recent updates. Go here to read about the most recent updates for your version.

    What that seems to suggest is that it's the app that may be in need of updating to make optimal use of the card (though my current card still isn't listed). And what's fun about updating the app is that when you click where it says to go "here" above, it takes you to a new page that has this sentence in it:

    IMPORTANT: Before installing a new version, please read this page about the default behavior of the updater, which is to remove all previous versions of the application, and this page about why you might not want to do that.

    ... and if you click that last link about why you might not want to do that, it goes to a page that's clearly not the intended destination.

    It would have been nice to be able to read up on the pitfalls of removing all previous versions (I've been using Premiere Pro CC 2015 and now plan to go to CC 2017).

    (By the way, just as a point of interest, my Creative Cloud Desktop indicates the most recent version of Premiere Pro that's available is 11.0.1, but that first link above says you can click there to download 11.0.1 and it doesn't call it a beta.)
