Question New GPU with older CPU --- capability advice for Unreal Engine 5 animation and VFX ?

[Mark Sashegyi]

I'm wondering what's the highest graphics card I can upgrade to with my current system, without having to replace any other parts, and still be able to do high-end animation and VFX for film & tv production? I'd appreciate any recommendations.

I'm currently running on a Windows 10 64-bit with an Intel i7-4930K 3.4 GHZ 6-core processor CPU, 32 GB Corsair RAM and Titan GTX 780 Ti 3 GB GPU on a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 Motherboard

With the type of work you do, I would get amd radeon RX 6800 XT

I'm aiming to do pitchvis and previs work for films & tv. Specifically, motion storyboards for story pitches and just short 3D scenes involving animals.
