So the 5950X of course is a lot better than the 3900XT. If you have the means for it and find it in stock at a local seller, that's your best option.

I'd go with the Nvidia GPU choice, as those cards do tend to be more widely supported, especially in gpu render engines.

Rest looks great to me! :)

Yes you can render on the CPU in Vray! :) It's usually not quite as fast as utilizing the GPU, but possible.

Hello.
I have the same question about GPU's. The main attraction for RX6800 is the huge amount of RAM. I can get both the 3070 or RX6800 in South Africa at the moment. I use Revit and Enscape. And there are like no reviews on the net that i can find about the comparison between these two for Arch rendering.

For professional use, it's almost always safer to go with Nvidia because they have a much broader support net across various workstation applications. That said, Revit and Enscape both do seem to support AMD graphics cards. AFAIK, Revit performance usually is more sensitive to processors rather than graphics cards anyway. For Enscape, Nvidia's RTX support should give it an edge over AMD - Enscape + NVIDIA RTX: Even More Realistic Visualizations (enscape3d.com)
