If you want to archive for future use the originals will be the best you can get. You cannot get more quality but can make it easier to edit.If you want a smaller file then h265 would be the option. You can use the NVENC output from your new card that should encode a file that is smaller when encoded with all the best settings and be almost indistinguishable. I have encoded to h265 with my 1080Ti from a 422 ProRes UHD HLG file recorded in my NINJA V from my GH5. In this case the h265 file is 17 times smaller and I cannot see the difference on my equipment. For me good enough for a copy to keep rather than the very large ProRes files. It encoded by the way in a little less than 2 x realtime. Of course the ProRes file is easier on the timeline for editing.
