I decided to buy new GPU especially for 3D rendering.
I use blender and DAZ studio (Iray matters you know).
I stopped at rtx3070, rtx3060 and rtx2080 ti.
Sadly, my country's economics sucks really hard and everything sold here is extremely overpriced.
I've heard what 3060 dual with 12gb VRAM is good for handling high quality/big scenes and has good rendering speed.
Ofc rtx3070 is also good. My friend renders are done in between 2-40 mins depending from scene.
Don't know about rtx 2080 ti. Just read it has almost similar performance at rendering as 3060, but has lower VRAM.
3070 is in high demand right now and is overpriced as fuck in my region. 2080 ti is not being sold anymore in my region and I can buy it only via web store.
3060 is here and it's price is lower than 3070's and 2080 ti's.
So I want to hear from anyone who tried those cards. Will rtx3060 be a good purchase for 3D rendering? And how much difference comparing to 3070 and 2080 ti?

3070 > 3060 Ti > 2080 Ti >>> 3060 when it comes to rendering.

In games, the performance goes like this:
3070 > 2080 Ti > 3060 Ti = 2080 Super >>> 3060


>>> meaning the difference is big.

What PrinceOfShades says, but remember that we're in a graphics card drought, so that also further raises prices, I'm not saying you should wait, but prices will drop once the shortage is over. That being said, the shortage has been going on for some time and is the reason why graphics cards/PS5s are so hard to obtain. But that is a decision for you.
