Best card for USD 1,500

[Sledgehkg]

I have $1,500 to spend on a graphic card. It will be used for 3ds Max 2019 with V-Ray Next (which takes advantage of GPU)
I have a couple in mind, either the Nvidia 2080ti or a Quadro card but I would like the advice of the guys and gals in this forum.
I'm looking for the shortest render times.

Many thanks to all!

i7 processor, 32gb ram

Get the Quadro RTX 5000.

Autodesk's official stance is that Quadro cards are certified for this application.

I would head that way.

3ds Max 2019 is certified with almost all GPUs according to Autodesk.

RTX 2080 Ti is the fastest according to the following review:

Good info, apparently I'm a bit out of touch..

For AutoCAD 2D and 3D, the nVidia gaming cards have long ruled the roost ... Rendering however historically tends to favor the Quadro cards. The Titan straddled the line between both .... Not sure why but the RX 2xx series has done quite well with many rendering tasks.
