Graphics card question
- Thread starter mickydoo
- Start date
Do for rendering is best 2 choices 1080ti and 2080ti. But 1080ti I think you cannot buy new this days. 2070 Is not bad card, but that 2 is better. I'm using normaly second hand parts in Pc's without problems.
Think about it. 1080ti is really a good choice and used costs about 500-600USd +- Mostly still in warranty. It is good choice. Of course If you don't have much money used 1080 or new 2070 is not bad choice too. All of that cards will be X times better than card you have now.
What would you say gives the most bang for the buck?
It is my understanding that the 1070 is close enough to the 1080 but much cheaper. So it is a better deal. But I know nothing.

If cards have almost save performance get always that one with bigger memory because if your render overflow this memory you must render with CPU and GPU with superb performance do nothing.

Performance in iRay OptiX and blender renderers
V-Ray, Octane and others have much beter performance for RTX cards.

just asking: why geforce graphic cars and not AMD?
amd has quite some good GCs now (that are cheaper, at least in my country) like the vega 64 or the radeon VII (however, checking out your website i ask myself how asutralians can even afford to buy a fucking PC... the prices are mindblowing!).

you must be shitting me, for real? feels like nvidia has such a whopping monopole that we will pay a lot more for their cards in the near future than we already have to.
quite a shame actually. the radeon VII is said to be an excellent choice for content creation. but if rendering softwares are only optimized for nvidia, ...well, fuck.
No I'm not. What you expect Nvidia do for profesional use from it's begining and thay have working ecosystem with Card and software support, spending tons of money in development anddevelopment support. AMD have only cards and just before 2 years they released finally their first Ray renderer. The rest is classical AMD style. Here is our card It have all that things you want. "Hey AMD that card not working in this SW" Shitty developers, use another....you must be shitting me, for real? feels like nvidia has such a whopping monopole that we will pay a lot more for their cards in the near future than we already have to.

not in my country.
prices taken from geizhals.at:
rx vega 64: 400 around euros
radeon VII: 700 around euros
nvidia 2070: 500 upwards
nvidia 2080: 820 upwards
same thing with amd processors and the ones from intel. hence the reason why ask (since the OP seems to be a bit low on budget. however, 'cause he uses that australian website with that ludicrous price tags amd stuff there is almost as expensive, i know i know -but it doesn't hurt to think about the other brands for once too right?). don't wanna start a god damn green vs. red faction war or something.

well, that's the biggest reason why one would choose AMD, the price. the OP said that he isn't swimming in money, and for a lil' cut in speed he would get a fairly cheaper CG. but if his rendering software or whatever he uses doesn't support AMD, talking about AMD is out of the question anyway. it's just a shame, the radeon VII would actually fit nicely as it uses 16 vram and is made specifically for creating stuff and not so much for playing games (linus tech also recommended it for that use - if you listen to his advice that is).
that being said i would also recommend a 1080 over the others (depending on how expensive it is to get in your country). 1060 and 1070 are out of the question (due to ram and 1070 being a fucking moneygrab). the 2070... it's sooo expensive, good god. 800 bucks for it, that's 300 bucks more than in my country (and we are already damn expensive here). the thing is, it uses GDDR6 giving it a near 50% better bandwidth memory and the architecture is newer while also being almost as good as the gtx 1080 in terms of texture units (144 vs. 160). but fuck, that price tag... guess at the end of the day it's up to OP if he can afford the 2070 and wants to be safe than sorry. low money => 1080; safe pick => 2070
ps: that's ofc. just my personal uneducated opinion ^^.
Australia is bad for prices, it's a minimum wage thing I believe. In the US its something like 7 or 8 bucks an hour, here it is 18 bucks, but all that does is make everything more expensive, food, rent, electricity, our electricity is like the highest in the world, so international companies set a price they think we can pay, its bullshit.
I'm still holding out hope that by the time I'm ready to upgrade, the next tier of cards will come out and there will be some sort of mid range card with 8GB of Vram. I'm fine with the performance of my 1050, I just want to double or triple the memory on it.
If not I guess I'll just bite the bullet and pay through the nose for one of the 11GB cards. Unfortunately right now Nvidia doesn't really have any mid range cards. It's either low end or high end with pretty much no options in between. I guess that's how you maximize profits though.
