Optional notes:
- Tom is correct, for CGI artist, nVidia has us locked because of CUDA & Optix dependent software. The new AMD cards are fantastic value due to having 16GB of VRAM which is super useful for viewport management (highres texture visible, multiple 3dsMax instances open at same time,etc..) but real-time Optix Denoiser is far too valuable.
- Strix-E X570 is great board. I have one too ;- ). You could alternatively go for X550 if you don't want active chipset fan.
My is super silent.. but I use blower GPUs so this area is not hot. With AIB GPUs (Gigabyte, MSI, Asus,...) it will be different.
- If you are from US or somewhere where FE cards are available, I would go for FE version. It outputs 1/3 to 2/5 of heat directly out of case which is pretty useful for CPU-heavy workstation.
Thanks Juraj, unfortunately i live in Spain so i think that is difficult find a FE GPU and probably i'll go for the x570. I work with music so some loud in fan is not a problem haha
