I háve computer AMD Ryzen 7 2700, 32GB and nVidia RTX 2060 6GB...I use new RTX rendering alot... Thinking of buying second RTX graphic card... Whats better solution? Buy the samé RTX2060 or Buy so ething better for example RTX2070? /RTX 2080 is over budget☹️/

Hi toman,
The more compute cores and memory the GPU has the better it is for rendering.
V-Ray will automatically use both GPUs with no additional setup required.
There is also no real benefit of installing the same exact cards (2060) compared to a different one (2070, 2080, etc).
Note that in terms of memory you'll be limited by the 2060 even if you buy a second card with more (not a concern with the 2070).
Another thing I want to suggest is for you to benchmark the CUDA mode.
In this mode your CPU can also participate in the rendering process giving you an additional boost.
You can compare the render speed of RTX (GPU only) vs CUDA (GPU + CPU) to determine if this is worth it.

Hi Konstantin, thanks for yopur answer, I will try the benchmarks....and see...thanks alot.
The only thing is that I thought that when I install second GPU /the same one as I have/ the RTX mode will be almost 2x faster /I know that less because of sharing memory, info and so.../ and you wrote "There is also no real benefit of installing the same exact cards." SO it will not be faster to use 2 2060 in RTX mode then 1 2060?

A second card will certainly make rendering twice as fast.
What I meant is, there is no reason to choose the same card model compared to a slightly better one.
