Virb Edit crashes because NVIDIA Quadro 410 doesn't meet min recommended specs?

I've been extremely frustrated at having a great product, Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which is practically useless because Virb Edit crashes all the time. I noticed that playback in 720p preview mode works just fine. But as soon as I change to full resolution, either 1080P or 2.7K, for video clips longer than say 15s, Virb Edit crashes. (Playback of shorter videos, 10s or so, at 1080P, is erratic, like there are memory buffer problems.)

So I got to thinking, could the problems be because my NVIDA Quadro 410 doesn't meet minimum system specification? NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 is minimum spec for 4K video. GT 630 has less cores, but more memory. The Quadro 410 fall short of the minimum graphics memory specification.

So could it be the graphics card itself isn't capable? I bought this graphics card three years ago when I built the computer for photo editing purposes, when 4K monitors were new to the market. Maybe it's time for a graphics card upgrade? But before I do so, I want to be absolutely certain that the graphics card is the culprit, so I don't spend $$$ on a graphics card upgrade and discover this doesn't actually fix the problem of Virb Edit crashing....

    On second thought, there isn't a direct relationship to video length. Some videos of length 2 to 3min recorded in 1080P playback at full resolution, others do not.

    It looks like neither memory, nor GPU load is maxed out during playback at 1080p full resolution. Which is not a very definitive that the Quadro 410 doesn't meet min system performance specs.

    But it is interesting to note that GPU load was about 40% during playback at 720p, roughly first half of the strip chart, and increased to about 70% during playback at 1080p. Then when one of the videos which causes Virb Edit to crash was played GPU load dropped to 0, like the process crashed due to some errant/unhandled command or API call.

    No program should 'CRASH' because minimum level hardware wasn't found. The program SHOULD detect the problems with the hardware and present an error message detailing the piece(s) of hardware that aren't up to the programs requirements. Programming 101 !!!!!!!!!!!
