ur graphic card takes load ..,

and for learning purposes nothing is needed to upgrade..

for working professionally lookout for

better procy and most importantly Graphic card

Professional cards not gaming cards..

quodro series from nvidia or fire series from ati

They are very expensive

I work on 3d platform for a long time and can confirm what ur friend said is right...

Proccy: Used when u render
GPU: used when u work on the Software

but i have heard that for complex rendering GPU is also used but for that u will need the Quadro GPU.. which is meant for 3d work
