Which one do I pick, a 3060 12GB or a 4060 8GB? Why?

    I think that the VRAM is the most important number. 12 Gb is just enough for 2 G9 and a few props.

    I'm in the same dilemma, with a generation back. My dual 2080 with 2x8 Gb are not up to the work.

    I'll wait and save to get a 32 Gb Nvidia card. 2 or 3 months are worth the wait.

    Btw, I find it a bit weird to buy a top end and costly video card for a more or less free software. I'm used to skip 2 Nvidia generations/

    I regularly keep an eye on the European market, 4090 are around 3000 USD atm. And 5090 are just out of stock

    I used a 980 ti 6g and then paired it witha titanx 12.... got a newer computer with a 1080ti11 g
    it was then I discovered how many of my scenes used 12 g
    Now i have the 1080ti 11g paired with the 12g titan no monitors on the 12 g card and I can still do all the scenes I did before
    OveraI getting very good at layering scenes in photoshop
    but since Daz and I can't agree on don't load texures if something is not turned on I genereally create the scene in regular build 
    save the background and camera as a subset then the foreground and camera as subset and open them in public one at time and render them as tifs with trans and then put them together in PS
    But nope just can't picture trying to do anything with a 8g card. 
    the renders are usually max at 15 minutes or so... which compared to the old days of cpu 3d delight or what ever at hours is still fast

    They do sell a 4060 that has 16g of vram got one on black friday for a great price. I would avoid lower vram cards and the 5000 series cards because they are too expensive. Unless this is a business decision not a hobby one I would avoid the newest stuff. The more vram the more you can fit in but post work can solve alot of problems. You can always composite your images to save on vram. I would take some simple classes at community college or use youtube to learn color, composition, the rule of 3rds, and lighting and photography to name a few. These things can do more for your art than a expensive video card! Good Luck

    I have a PNY 4060ti 16 GB. and it works better than I expected. Rarely runs out of VRAM. I'm using it in an i7-3770K Z77 mb with 32 GB of RAM, it's old but I'm not a gamer so it works great for rendering.
