Thanks for the suggestion Carsten. From the research I've done, the 3060ti seems to be the best bang for the buck. This benchmark was done using DaVinci Resolve and the 3060ti even out performed the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB.
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/artic ... ance-2021/I just picked up an RTX3060 for the equivalent of US$400 and it's working well. I'm glad I went with the 3060 because it has 12GB of VRAM and I see that on some of my more complex timelines Resolve is already using well over 8GB so that might have caused issues with an 8GB card such as the 3060Ti
True, the 3060 has more VRAM but the 3060ti appears to be faster and better overall. I do wish the Resolve benchmark had included the 3060 since Resolve is what I'll be using. But in this review from Linus Tech Tips the 3060ti was better in every test they ran for both games and productivity. I'm not a gamer, so productivity is the only category important to me.
I've already waited quite a while for it so I don't mind waiting a little longer.... but I am getting more and more impatient now that I'm using Resolve. Resolve on integrated graphics is painful!
