[SOLVED] Looking for a good workstation/gaming GPU

I'm upgrading some hardware in my current build and I'm looking for a GPU - I'm a character modeler and I mainly use programs like ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, and UE4 and Marmoset Toolbag. So lots of high-poly models, hair and cloth sim, multiple high-res texture sets and realtime scenebuilds and renders. However, it's also my personal computer so having something that's good for games as well would be a plus.

So far I've narrowed it down to a few cards: Radeon VII, Quadro RTX 4000, or RX 5700.
Any suggestions? I'm looking to spend at most $700-$800.
 
2070 Super to 2080 Super is the obvious choice. Good enough for high fps gaming and gentle enough to handle any GPU based rendering.

Though if you're also going the 2080 route, getting the regular 2080 non-super variant is a cheaper option since it's outdated model but only has about ~5% performance loss. Totally worth the price to performance.

I'd recommend going this route as well. Just go with the cheapest 2080 option you can find.
