What GPU graphics card should I buy?

[Dziadek-NET]

Hello

I work ad hoc on Indigo and it's not my everyday job. There are times when I do not render anything and sometimes I have to make several / a dozen renderings in a short period of time.
Which GPU card do you recommend currently (price / quality?)


Currently, card prices are falling, so maybe this is a good time to buy something before the next increases?

I currently have a GTX 760 + "Denoising" function and that's what saves me for the moment.

Please advise which card should I be interested in. As I mentioned, I am looking for a reasonable card (price / quality) and I do not want to overpay since I am not a professional.

What's better

GTX1080Ti + 11GB
if
RTX 3060 GAMING / RTX 3060 Ti + 12GB
if
RTX 3070 GAMIG / RTX 3070 Ti + 8 GB.

But is it worth paying for Ti? the price is growing significantly.


or maybe another card?

Hi, it depends what scenes you render. Are you sometimes limited by GPU ram? Go to the 12Gb. If you prefer as speed as possible go to RTX 3070TI with 8Gb.
For me is GPU ram more interesting. Better bit slower then nothing...I have 2080ti 11Gb and it is not enought for some scenes. 24Gb will be much better.

Those AMD are a bit slower but have usually more ram to play with

How do I find out how many ram do I need? And how much am I currently using?
What will happen when I buy a caste with, for example, 8GB and the needs will be greater?

I currently have a GTX 760 2GB: P and I'm not complaining.
