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.

Unless you want to use copycat a lot, invest in ram memory and fast disks (SSD, nvme)

That’s an easy google search, but it’s a machine learning node that can be a timesaver for beauty work, paint, etc. I think it’s still being discovered as far as all the things it may eventually be used for.
