You're probably fine.

Are you finding the videos stop and start or break up or anything?
Could be your internet even then.

Wait for that internet fix, because the card is not bad for your workload. Obviously, if you replace it with a new version for more performance, then go for it.
But only if you feel it's needed due to poor performance.
