Best Graphics Card?

I'm thinking of getting a new computer built for working with Daz. The quote I got has the computer using a Intel UHD Graphic 750 card. Is this a good card for working with the lastest Daz Studio? If not, can you make any suggestions of what to use?
The other things included in the computer is an1 TB SSD & 2 TB Hard drive, 64 GB Ram, and an I7 Processor.

Iray will not use non-nVidia GPUs. dForce should work with any GPU that suports OpenCL (1.2 I think is the minimum version). Ideally you want an nVidia RTX card with at least 8GB of memory.
The Intel GPU does nothing in DS, except show you a picture on your monitor.
As you used the 'B' word... That would be RTX 3090 TI or several of them linked together with NVLink
How about a NVidea GeForce RTX 3060 TI? I also have an option for a RTX 3070 as well. In both cases I would be buying from Best Buy instead of having one built.
By the way, thanks for the info, you two.
You would probably be better off with the non ti 3060 as it has more vRAM.
What's a non ti 3060 and vRaM? I'm looking at the sales page and I don't see vRAM listed.
Oh, never mind. you meant a 3060 without the TI.
The RTX 3060 without TI would be better because of its 12GB VRAM, The RTX 3060 TI and RTX 3070 have just 8GB's
The computer I'm looking at has only these options... AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 TI, RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090.
24go VRAM is best for works in 2022, but with problem with GPU price.... xD
soo 12 giga VRAM is the minimum, with that I can make 1 or 2 body MAXIMUM in scene, after IRAY cut Blackk render no memory....
DAZ need a very very good Computer for works with Iray.... And just for picture, no animation.
I think DAZ has a big problem with optimisation... Exemple today I make 1 scene with 1 body, and Hair Dfroce, Need 25giga RAM....
I'm using a 1660ti with 6gb DDR and it does surprisingly well pre-render for looking at surface and lighting results. My rendering resolution is pretty high and scenes are fairy complex so the CPU is doing the heavy lifting for me when I get there, thats where the limits of this card is most noticable.
