just use denoise on a 128 sample. BMW renders in 2 seconds with my 6600xt. end result looks the same as 4096 samples.

If I denoise I lose all the detail I painted into my 4k UDIM maps plus it becomes temporally unstable

details gonna get lost on my 1080p monitor anyway

I render on CPU.

you are one of those retards that checks camera reviews for half a year, buys a 5000$ DSLR and then doesn't take a single picture, aren't you?

So 12GB of vram costs $300?

AMD better hurry the fuck up and figure out the AI shit on their card or Nvidia gonna start really milking people with the vram pricing. Just imagine how much 48GB card is going to cost if Nvidia can set the price with no competition around.

I'll be buying 4090 because it seems like the most future-proof choice atm.

If cash isn't an issue for you, there's no reason not to get a 4090, it's the best of the best right now (until TITAN RTX ADA comes out).

I will never buy a Titan again

Render at 4k-8k with minimal samples and denoiser, then scale down to 2k-4k.

You can buy 2 second hand 3090's for the price of a 4090 and NV-Link them together for 48GB of VRAM, assuming the program you're running supports it.

You'll get roughly the same performance without pooling your memory but you might run into some overhead when using NV-Link.

This solution would also up the power consumption and heat quite a lot in comparison to 4090, no?

My 3090's draw only 290~ish watts each when rendering.

As with all things, it's a trade off. If you want maximum speed and bragging rights, go for the 4090.
Go for the 3090 if you can deal with less speed and hopefully a better deal.
Go for 2 3090's if you have lots of texture requirements and need 48GB of VRAM. 4090's lack NV-Link so you won't be able to get past the 24 on the card.

Considering the most affordable 48GB card on the market with the same performance of the 3090 costs $4000 (Quadro RTX 6000). Strapping two 3090s together starts to become the winning move if you're a consoomer
