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 use a 3090 with ZorinOS and it has some drawbacks (for some reason would not dim the screen when inactive until recently, tearing in most games, sometimes have to tweak nvidia drivers for games to work), but as far as i know, not many for 3d rendering itself (i haven’t rendered big scenes though, but i’ve worked quite some time testing shaders, modeling or tracking and no issue for now).
Maybe nvidia bad reputation with linux applies mostly to gaming, but i’m not that sure.
