Hi everyone,
I'm making my first game and will be rendering my first animated scene in the next few weeks, but I suspect that I should probably get some new hardware to comfortably render animations before that happens.
Right now, I'm using a GTX 960 with 8GB of ram, and renders are taking a long time, but it's okay because I set them to batch render overnight. I'm concerned that that's not going to work too well when it comes to animations, though, so I think I'll probably want to get some new (used) hardware.
In your opinion, what should I be looking for in terms of graphics card if I want to comfortably render animations? I'll probably buy a used graphics card since they tend to get really expensive new. And RAM. Should I be looking at 16GB at minimum?
Any tips or advice is appreciated!
