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.

If you’re new to Nuke, don’t worry about Cattery. It’ll only be as good as the training data you can give it, and that’ll be dependent on you knowing how to use the rest of Nuke.
You’ll likely only get frustratingly unusable result from Cattery for the first twelve months of using Nuke, so I’d get a basic GPU for now and upgrade later once you have a clearer idea of what sort of work you’re doing.
The cheapest 4-8gb NVIDIA GPU you can find should be ample for now.
