Most powerful blower card?

[da na]

Because of case complications I have a few options for a blower card. Which should I get? (It's for light gaming and CAD.) I'm not buying it now I'll buy the card in a couple months when prices drop and used cards are cheaper again.

 

Options:

Quadro m4000

Quadro p4000

GTX 1080 FE

RX 5700 XT FE

Radeon Pro w6600

Vega 56/64

 

Which should I choose? I'm leaning more towards the 5700xt or 1080 since they have better perf for the price than the CAD cards but don't know if there's anything I'm missing.

why no RTX series in this list? a blower RTX 2080 (Ti?) would run cirkles around a 5700XT, and price would be comparable to those pro cards.

It's hard to say right now. Given how unstable the GPU market is, we don't know if used GPU prices will ever return to their pre-COVID prices. The surge in demand for GPUs from both miners and home users is going to take years to saturate, and until then, prices probably will remain higher than they were prior.

The question you have to answer first is whether you work on CAD enough to justify a workstation card. If you do, gaming cards have no place in this comparison. Otherwise, forget the workstation cards.

 

Asus and Gigabyte both still makes RTX 3080 with blower cooler (Gigabyte even made one for RTX 3090 but that's EOL)

Are there any of those? Checking TechPowerUp looks like no... Plus I don't need that performance for what I do.

 

Edit: they aren't listed basically anywhere, they're mostly OEM cards but yes they exist.

 

Thank you for the recommendation, I may go for those.

I don't do too much cad, I'm a small game dev using Unity and that runs OK on an RX 560 so...

i had two blower regular 2080's in a previous rig, ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo and Zotac RTX 2080 Gaming.  also the GPU in my F@H server is a blower RTX 2080Ti. But that has a waterblock now. The little blower cooler was just not nearly enough for such a card.

 

i believe the ASUS Turbo line even has RTX 3090's, but i really doubt the performance would be on par with a 3090 with a better cooler.
