adobe after effects GPU For A Motion Designer!! Help!!

[alphaadoge]

Hello!!!!

 

So I am a motion designer who mostly does 2D animations. My animation program of choice is After Effects but I also use Illustrator and Photoshop to storyboard and to create style frames. Recently I have been getting further into Cinema 4D and am now realizing that GPU rendering is the new wave with a lot of 3D programs. Especially when it comes to Octane Renderer and Redshift. I currently have Windows 10 Pro, a Ryzen 5 1600, 980 Founders Edition, and 32GBs of Corsair LPX DDR4 memory. I plan to upgrade my CPU to a Ryzen 7 3000 series when that drops, but at the moment a GPU is at the top of my upgrade list. Price is definetly a consideration, I don't have deep pockets unfortunatley.

 

What are your recommendations?

On Octane Studios,website their approved workstations have Quadro's, so their brand preference seems to be Nvidia, so if you can afford either a RTX 2070, that would probably work quite well. Otherwise try and pick up a second hand 1080 or 1080ti. When I do rendering my 1080ti handles quite well.

Hope this helps.
