Unlike those poor souls needing an unobtainable NVIDIA RTX card just to even render a still image in other softwares.
Hmmm, I wonder . . . when I got my new-ish Alienware laptop (Thanksgiving 2019), I purposely told the Dell salesman I couldn't use the RTX card with at least one of the software apps I use daily (Poser11), so he gave me a GTX 1660. As it turned out, I "still" couldn't render with my GPU until Poser11 was upgraded to accept the newer cards, because the GTX 16xx series is the same Touring architecture as the RTX 20xx cards that were out at the time. I haven't looked, but I wonder of the GTX 16xx series of cards are as unobtainable as the nVidia RTZ cards. Then again, the RTX series have even newer 30xx cards, so it's possible those are the ones that are unobtainable.
