Gpu update for light Graphics/3D Modeling & Rendering works

[7h39]

Hello, with the new GPU releases i went a bit on a hype for a new graphics card, but i'm struggling to find the perfect match for my needs. 

Currently i have a 9900k with a quadro P4000, i do some light photoshop works and mostly 3d modeling and rendering for architectural purposes (Cinema4d w/ v-Ray, Rhinoceros, Unreal Engine, Blender) and occasional gaming.

 

I'm interested into raytracing performance over common rasterization due to my work needs and workflow, so until last week i was trying to grab a 3080 o 3090 on ebay without too much price increase over base, 3090 have the least increase but the base price it's a bit of a stretch for me (1800+ €). Extra ram it's good but from what i saw/listened/read 3090 will not benefit from workstation applications optimized drivers like the previous titans. that's a bummer. Also, i think that those application will not benfit from DLSS so that it's out of the equation.

Now with the AMD launch i was very pelased from the offerings of 6800xt and 6900xt from a price standpoint and for the extra ram (over the 3080) however the benchmarks for raytracing performances were not shown or somewhat hidden (the unspecified AMD RNA2 GPU from the benchmark footnotes with the 400ish fps on D3DX12 raytracing -source: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/rdna-2 -source: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ray-accelerator-appear-to-be-slower-than-nvidia-rt-core-in-this-dxr-ray-tracing-benchmark) or possibly misleading due to being a composite benchmark with rasterization and raytracing (-source: https://www.thefpsreview.com/2020/10/31/amd-radeon-rx-6800-beats-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-in-shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-4k-wqhd-even-with-ray-tracing-enabled-dlss-off/ - source: https://twitter.com/PJ_Lab_UH/status/1322463479417040896) and the two result that were leaked/shown are opposite one tho the other (D3DX12 not good, Shadow better then 3070).

 

So i'm a little bit confused. What do you suggest?
