I am considering to build a desktop pc for 3d modelling and some rendering, mostly still images. Not interested in AI/crypto stuff, where apparetly most progress is focused. How should I think about it? Does it still make sense to avoid Nvidia? Maybe even second-hanf market is worth attention now?


I’m not doing modeling, just gaming, but my 7800xt has been incredible. It’s been a few years since I had an Nvidia card, but at least back then I had a lot of issues with Wayland, multi monitor support, etc. I’m sure a lot of it is cleaned up by now, but with an AMD GPU I don’t even have to think about it.
