Question Which GPU should I get for a more Productivity/Workstation focused PC build? How would you choose one?

[Garen D]

I am currently trying to determine what GPU I should get for a potential work station for myself. My budget is approx 2,000$ CAD. The main use(s) for this PC are Photo/Video Editing with some VR gaming and potentially some 3D modelling.
These are my current options for GPUs:
ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition 12GB
MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
XFX RX 6800
XFX Speedster QICK319 Radeon RX 6750XT
[POTENTIALLY] PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT



CPU Choices(should they matter):
Ryzen 9 5950X - 16 Cores 32 Threads / Ryzen 9 5900X - 12 Cores 24 Threads ( Ryzen 9 7900X - 12 Cores 24 Threads [AM5] ( if I decide to have more upgrade choices with the AM5 socket seeing as AM4s are EOL. My limit is my budget which is why I may go with the 5950X/5900X.)
