Hello,
I need a new GPU for my PC. I work primarily professionally in Rhino 8 (and sometimes unreal and twin motion). They seem to be hard to find at the moment and selling well over the market price. I was able to find a Sapphire Nitro + AMD Radeon RX 7900 xtx 24GB card, and a more expensive GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER WINDFORCE V2 16G card. I’ve seen old forum posts saying AMD is not good for Rhino. Is that still considered to be the case that I should buy the NVIDIA 4080 Super instead?
Toms Hardware has the 4080 Super wiping out the 7900 XTX with reasonable ease in Blender. But OptiX is fantastic (ugh! I feel fanboi-ish).
Be careful with the Gigabyte, if you want that and are mounting it horizontally in a standard tower, it will certainly need extra support. The PCBs on those are known to break at the PCI-e slot locking interface.
They did update the design, but I guess shopping online, you have no guarantee of what revision you are getting.
