Hi, I'm just starting to get interested in iray and for that I'm looking for a new graphics card. My budget is limited, but I'm interested in, which card would be best if money didn't matter. Which cards are best suited? Quadro, GFORCE...?
What has to be considered with iray in general? Is it just as many CUDA units as possible?

    Memory and CUDA cores are the key. For Daz Studio use, I believe the GTX1080TI to be the best performance per dollar expenditure.

    Quadro is for CAD and scientific apps that need double precision.  You don't necessarily need double precision for rendering, floating-point is ok, and I would say faster too. So, do you need a Quadro?  Probably not.  You could buy 4 GTX 1080s for the price of one Quadro card.
