I need help Upgrading my Graphics card, I need to work on rendered videos for architecture, but th pc is very slow when rendering, I even have to downgrade the finished render video to 720x405 I cant do it better

I was thinking on buying a RTX 3080, the thing is that you cant find it anywhere, and the 20 series is very expensive in comparation, 

can you recomend something?
Where can I buy a RTX 3080?

 

Thanks

I tried looking at Amazon & Best Buy, but seems that there is no stock.

Try and find a used GPU.

Well. At this point your best bet for buying a RTX 3080 is going to be places where:

a.) Scalper don't have "easy" access.

b.) You just get lucky.

 

With the location be either online or in store. Online is most likely not going to get you anything but it is possible. So to get your best chances online look for sites that allow you to be notified when the part get's restocked. Then sign up for as many of those notifications as possible. If it's an email notification you should also set your phone's email client to push rather than fetch. That way you don't have to wait the fetch cycle before you get the email on your phone. These kinds of notifications typically also have a confirmation email when you sign up for the notification. If you add the email address that the confirmation was from the notification would also have a better chance of not landing in your spam folder.

 

Though your best bet is probably in a physical store. Sense you can't exactly have bots sitting in the store to buy the card as soon as it's in stock. So try to look around your local area and see if there is a computer shop that is or is planning to sell RTX 3080s. And just stop in every so often if you can. 

 

There are also smaller regional online stores that you might have better luck on as well. And if you would be willing to buy used these are probably your best bet. With the same rules applying.

Also this has nothing todo with getting a new card. But double check to make sure that your software is setup to use GPU encoding. Your problem might stem from that. It's at least a cheap to check.

Thanks to all of you for the responses, 

I was wondering if the cpu can handle the rendering, cause it is very good cpu i9 9900k I think it has graphic options, I just dont know how to use it, maybe rendering on the cpu can be better, But I really dont know
