If I were just a gamer I would go for AMD without hesitation, but as a 3D artist I’m still forced to buy Nvidia GPUs, so probably I’ll wait for something better on gpu rendering (like the RTX 3000 SUPER series) or a general price cut that could happen in few months.
RTX 3000 series have lights and shadows, I’m not super impressed by the Nvidia RTX 3XXX serie, so I’m not sure to buy one of these cards (especially compared to the amazing AMD RDNA 2 products). Nvidia Geforce RTX 3000 Ampere GPUs are Good for Rendering in Arnold? I think that the key point for the success of this GPU for rendering will be the selling price: if priced correctly it could be a great and cheap 8GB video card for rendering bringing performances similar to the RTX 2080 ti 11GB. Nvidia RTX 3060 ti ( 8GB) is the mainstream GPU for rendering: on paper it shares a lot of characteristics with the RTX 3070 so we can speculate that the performance on rendering speed using Arnold would be about 15% less than an RTX 3070. Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 ti Rendering Speed Comparing the RTX 3070 rendering speed performance to the RTX 2080 ti we can say that the RTX 3070 is faster on rendering with a good margin. Nvidia RTX 3070 ( 8GB) is a good video card for rendering even if I think it’s not enough good for owners of RTX 2070/2060 SUPER or RTX 2080, since the performance jump on rendering speed is not very significant and the 8GB of video ram is limiting for the 4K era. The only real problem with this video card is the poor availability and the price that is sky rocked! We hope to find this GPU soon at reasonable price. Its performance and rendering speed is almost twice the old RTX 2070 8GB / RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB which is a great deal.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 ( 10GB) is (theoretical) the best bang for bucks GPU for Arnold Render: it is the right spot for the current generation of video card for rendering. I would not recommend this gpu video card for rendering to anyone, since you can get two RTX 3080 at almost the same price of one RTX 3090 (doubling your rendering speed!) Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Rendering Speed Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090 ( 24GB) is the fastest RTX 3000 GPU for Arnold Render: insanely expensive and with a huge power draw (350W) even if it do not show that big performance rendering speed advantage over the RTX 3080 (only 15-20% faster).
