Animation software works just fine on geforces (no-one uses AMD for professional work) - you don't need fp64 for anything. Rendering for film is 99.9% CPU-based, and even if that weren't true, all the GPU renderers on the market don't make use of fp64 anyway.

The only reason to use workstation class cards is because the software is certified to run on them (I.e. You won't get support from AD if you use a GeForce instead of a quadro). The only real reason used to be memory but with 11GB in a 1080ti even that's less true these days.
