GPU applied only to Octane render engine. For modelling and animating only CPU and RAM. GPU is a small PC with it own chip, that's why your CPU cannot has straight adress to GPU RAM and cannot be used in calculating processes for editor

Well... While true it's not always like that. I know for example that Maya uses GPU for viewport rendering and several other programs that have option for it as well (as long as your card supports CUDA).
