Iray only using CPU

My video card is Intel UHD Graphics 620, it cames with the computer. On the Iray settings, the GPU is not available there, only CPU.

Is there a way to make Iray recognize my GPU? I read here in the forum that I can install a driver 430.86, but I'm not sure if this is possible. If my GPU is not compatible, which one should I buy?

Thanks

    In order to render Iray on the GPU, you need a supported Nvidia GPU, preferably with 8GB's or more VRAM

    The Nvidia RTX 3060 with 12GB's of VRAM has the best bang for a buck.

    Thanks. I'll buy one soon. Right now, the render with CPU takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes to draw what I need. Do you have any advice to reduce this 1 to 2 minutes render time? I'm doing some things such as: reducing the number of 3D items in the scene, reducing the max iterations, etc.
