I believe it is being suggested that you consider using cpu rendering instead of gpu rendering for Superfly. The point being since rendering Superfly is the only time poser puts heavy demands on the gpu, if you do a mixture of sf and ff renders, you might be better off economising on the graphics card and looking for a better processor.

Yes :) CPU rendering have some benefits such as no memory limit, so you are more likely to be able to render a big scene than you are with a GPU, unless you get one with a lot of memory, like 6 or 8 GB at least that would be my biggest concern.

I haven't been able to find some good tests, comparing CPU vs GPU rendering, meaning how good a graphic card would you need to match a certain CPU and what are the price differences etc. In both cases you have to be sure that the rest of the computer can also handle a new CPU or graphic card so other things might have to be upgraded as well.

But anyway I don't know what is best, but was merely something to consider :)
