affordable GPU for rendering and 3d modeling

[kdsounak]

Hello friends

I was planning to build a midrange workstation for animation and rendering

I know the basics of parts but i don't dence of clocking, overclocking,RAM timing, voltage and more.

i have searched a bit of workstation for 3d and 4K rendering and thought to get with this configuration-

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

 

still i am unable to find a perfect mid-range gpu, motherboard, and power supply

i was looking for GeForce GPU but the rtx 2070 and greater are beyond my budget

if anyone knows the perfect affordable gpu for rendering please suggest

evga 2060 ko has compute performance rivaling the 2070 due to using a 2080 die. ~300 usd, best bang for your buck for compute/rendering workloads

You can render on an nVidia 8800 GT, if you're patient enough 

 

But until we know your budget, it'll be hard to suggest something

i think the old 1080's are probably cheap enough these days and would be decent

For the GPU alone, or for the entire system?

i was thinking of 1080ti but heard 2ndhand rumours about its threshold problem

what you say?

gor the entire syst

if i get $800 for gpu alone it won't be the matter to discuss from the first
