I'm budgeting for next year. Looking to a= dd a second GPU in the artist machines. I know we will get a palpable benef= it in our 3D rendering with Redshift, but will AE have any gains with addit= ional GPU power?=C2=A0 I know they have been adding more and more GPU accel= eration to AE with each release, but wasn't sure if one card was able h= andle it or does 2 cards help?

Thanks for any i= nput.
