Hello, everyone. :slight_smile: I’m looking to purchase a Graphics Card so I can speed up my renders. Anyone have any recommendations on what I should get? (One that is KNOWN to work with Blender) What graphics cards are you guys using?

Hi, take a look to my benchmark tread, all relevant cards are listed.
You need as much video memory you can afford, GTX 780 6GB, GTX 770 4 GB, if you can get one, or the new GTX 980/70 4 GB.
Mid class cards are GTX 760 4 GB, the new GTX 960 coming in 2-3 month.
The GTX 700 series is still faster but you safe power consumption and you need a smaller power supply.
