Best value (low budget) GPU in 2021?

With all the new GPUs recently, I'm wondering what the best value card would be now or in the near future?
Currently I'm using a GTX 1060, but I feel like that is quite a big bottleneck holding my workflow down, especially in fusion.


From reading puget systems reviews, it would seem like the NVidia GTX 3060 ti offers a lot for the price, but I do wish it had a bit more than 8gb of vram...
Their testing also seems to suggest the new AMD cards aren't very good for resolve unfortunately.

What do you think, is the 3060 ti currently the best option under $500? (if it can be found for msrp)
Or are there any other cards on the horizon that would be a better option?

I can't comment on that card, but the biggest bottlenecks for Fusion are CPU and RAM.

It's not relying as much on the GPU as Resolve (yet?).

interested too (windows 10 pro)...

mainly hd, no complex effects or intense cc'ing. would like to 'consider' 4k too.

4K - I'd stay away from anything that's less than 8G of VRAM.
State of the GPU market is God-awful. Prices are inflated, and no budget GPUs that fit the 8Gb requirement.

Where do you think all the top GPUs are going? Virtual mining companies…
With Bitcoin behind you you pay much higher than us video folks.
