Holy shit even 1080ti is now 650 Euro :- D Crazy times.
I kept advising people to buy this card second hand for 300 bucks for past three years :- ). And suddenly the value is doubled..
Well the average sold price for 3080 (current non-TI) version is 2000 Euros… and the Ti will not be cheaper since nVidia royally screwed the whole “crypto-blocker”.
You might be waiting until 2022… unless miracle happens.
3dsMax viewport is almost the same regardless of your GPU performance. Most important attribute is simply to never run out of GPU VRAM. (Mostly by using viewport texture resolution higher than 2k and having more than 1 scene opened).
Yes, crazy times indeed And they even go way higher on german ebay.
Considering times, I guess 1080ti isn’t a bad buy then, for cinema4d viewport performance. Especially considering 1080ti has 11GB, which is a significant boost compared to my 1GB
I suppose a good buy right now for someone who just needs the GPU for running the viewport and not rendering, would be a 3060 with its 12gb of ram. Depending on the market they run around 750-1000 euros.
If you can get your hands on one that is not more than 800 euros I guess it would be a better buy than a used 1080ti. Again it depends on how well you know the history of the used card you are buying. If you are not sure I would just invest 100-200 euros more for a new 3060 for which you get a warranty as well.
Prices are just crazy right now and I don’t think they will go down yet. At least not for the next month or two. People are selling 1080ti’s that have been mining for 4 years straight and they are asking like 650-850 euros for it… Crazyyyyy!
And they even go way higher on german ebay.
