Looking to upgrade my current system - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 4.2 GHz, 64 GB DDR5 SDRAM, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT w/12 GB VRAM.

I'm modeling in Sketchup and rendering in Twinmotion; considering a switch to 3D Studio Max and D5 / V-Ray, but there's a learning curve and I'm overloaded with work so it's not happening anytime soon.

I have 2 issues: 1.) Constantly running low on system memory when working on multiple files (due to the nature of my work), and 2.) Generally slow performance when rendering in Twinmotion (as well as crashes, but IDK if that's a Twinmotion bug or issue with videocard driver).

What I would like is a videocard that's optimized for 3D rendering (not gaming, I don't care about FPS), that gives me decent performance for the price (looking to spend $ 300 to $ 1000 on the GPU alone), and a motherboard/CPU solution that will give me more than 128 GB RAM.

Any advice from people who are keeping up with the latest trends, would be much appreciated!
