30 Bit Colour questions

Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my computer to improve rendering quality and I have had someone recommend getting an Nvidia Quadro P5000 which can do 30 bit colour. Of course, I would also need a monitor that can show 30 bit colour too . . . Does DAZ Studio output 30 bit colour images? - and while I'm at it, in your opinion, (Those who have seen this type of imagery) is it worth my money upgrading to this or is the difference barely noticeable?
Thanks

I would say no, don't bother. You don't need it to create high bit files*. It's a very costly option just for the privilege of a slightly better viewing experience.
It would only effect the quality of the renders if we also had the option of using the wider gamut colour spaces within DS, instead of sRGB.
*Anyway: I don't think DS has a save option for 16 bit tiffs. There may be a way to reduce a beauty pass (via canvasses) down to 16 bit.
