Hi.
I've been trying to decide what GPU to get for myself, and am still having a hard time to decide which to get.
While AMDs 6800XT and 6900XT are slightly better priced than Nvidia's 3080, 3080ti, at least in my country, I'm trying to decide whether they would be best for me.
Online I find differing opinions to this question: Which would be best of the four (3090 is just totaly out of my price range, so not even worth considering) for both gaming, but work too (3d, animation, design). On some websites some say 6800XT, while weaker than 6900XT and 3080s is best, because performance isn't that much weaker to justify going for more expensive card, whereas on other websites I find that 3080, and 3080TI perforamnce in particular, is so much better than 6800XT, and 6900XT that it's a no brainer.
So could anyone tell me first from a technical standpoint which would be better for what I intend to use them?

^ you're going to have to recall the make and model of the unit since the entire system depends on it. The GPU you're looking at, listed above all have a higher power draw compared to yesteryear GPU's...and often times draw much more power than the advertised TDP of said GPU's when taxed.

If you will, please state the make and model of the unit since a 3 year old PSU will not be outputting 750W of power to the entire system on demand, when compared to it being brand new.

To add, if we could get a list of all the titles and apps you want to tax the system and the new GPU purchase with(without an etc in that sentence), we'd be able to see if they are optimized for Nvidia or AMD GPU's.

I'm in Serbia. Just for reference, I can find 6900xt for roughly 1500€, whereas 3080ti is around 1800-1900 cheapest.

PSU, I will change if needed, but I will have that in couple of hours (it's similar to Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 750W).

As far as the apps, Adobe Premiere, After effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Autodesk Maya, Rhinoceros, maybe at times Blender and Cinema 4d
