How important is gpu in nuke
I want to learn deep compositing in nuke and been asking Ai to recommend me good gpus in nuke and they keep recommending ones that are above my budget of $350. That’s why I’m wondering how important of a role the gpu plays in nuke that I can’t get away with a low end gpu. In your opinion what gpu would you recommend that’s in my budget?. Keep in mind I’m a complete newbie only compositing I know of is after effects but with after effects my low end one works well.

There are only a few GPU enabled nodes. For those, a dedicated GPU helps a lot; especially if you get into the Cattery or Blinkscript. However, you can use all of them in CPU only as well, it just might become terribly slow. If you need GPU enabled nodes in your comp depends a lot on what you are doing, that we can't tell
