What's the Best GPU for Character Animator ?

Question

Hi guys today I am posting this post to ask you

"what's the best GPU for the Character Animator"

I really need to know this because my puppet is running a bit slowly...

I know by adjusting the size of the puppet I can get higer fps

but I want to avoid resizing ... (yes I resized and got higher fps but

I prefer the original size so I scaled it back to it's orginal size)

I don't know what's more important and used for Character Animator between CPU or GPU

but my CPU is actually pretty not bad (AMD Ryzen 3900x)

and I have enough Ram (32GB 3200Mhz)

so I am thinking that my GPU is the source of trouble (Radeon RX 580)

So I am considering an upgrade but I don't want to buy a GPU which is

exclusively strong at gaming only, even I have to pay more $

I want to buy a GPU which is strong both at gaming and Character Animator.

So here comes my 3questions !

1.Whats more important between CPU and GPU for Character Animator ?

2.What's the most important gpu spec value for Character Animator ?

VRAM ?

Clock Speed ? (Core Clock Speed ? Memory Clock Speed ?)

Cores ? ( Number of Shading Units ? Compute Units ? TMUs ? ROPs ?)

3. What GPU are you using and recommend ?

Thanks in advance guys !!

I was not going to answer because I don't know! But here are guesses in case useful.

I don't think GPU matters that much. Maybe it helps the final render, but I get the feeling its CPU bound. So good memory bus speeds might matter more than GPU.

More cores can really help if you are doing something like live streaming - one core for CH, one core for OBS Studio, 2 cores for the game you are playing and streaming for example. Less fighting over resources.

Oh, but if you are doing live streaming maybe the GPU will be useful for the game and OBS studio etc...

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro with 16gb memory and a desktop with 32gb of memory, beefy GPU, 4 cores instead of 2. It definitely renders faster on the desktop, but I cannot say why, and I would not be confident to recommend you spend more money based on just my experience. But I get the feeling that it is more compute based than GPU based blocking. E.g. I don't recall using the GPU for rendering going much faster (if faster at all), hinting to me the bottleneck is CPU (not GPU). Better CPU and memory bus is therefore my *guess* as to what is most important.

But I have not tested different combinations. I don't really know the answer, just nobody else had replied...
