Dear Forum,

I am not entirely sure of what percentage of workload the GFX card takes vs the CPU when rendering a movie (is it CODEC dependent?).

In order to reduce rendering times I would like to perform a hardware upgrade, however, it is not possible to replace my CPU given the motherboard that I have installed. I am only able to make a serious upgrade to the Graphics card.

Will a serious upgrade to the graphics card help to reduce the movie rendering times, or is this largely CPU based anyways, and therefore a GFX card upgrade proving pointless?

Thank you,

Brendan.
