Would a better graphics card speed up render time?

Do my render times directly correlate with how good my graphics card is? Or is there more to it, like Ram and Processor speed?

 

thanks

    If you’re speaking about iRay rendering, then, in general, the more powerful your card the faster scenes will render. CPU and RAM may have a small effect, but the number of CUDA cores and GPU clock speed are probably the numbers that matter most. (At least, for any scene that takes an appreciable amount of time to render)

    There are benchmark threads here that would give you some idea as to how an alternate card or cards would perform compared to your current one.

    Don't forget the graphics card driver. The current version of Iray in the new DAZ|Studio and the current generation of NVidia RTX cards need the latest driver version from the NVidia website.
