I literally know nothing about Redshift, is it worth learning to use?
Graphics card recommendations
What NVIDIA GPU would be better for Redshift? A 4070 Ti? Or a 3090?

I get by with the standard renderer and have been for years. My main use of C4D is motion graphics based stuff. So no character animation or rigging or intensive modelling.
My workplace is currently investing in a specific GPU rendering machine worth like £30k and the main 3d guys who work on Maya will be benefiting from it.
I was told it would be also compatible with Cinema 4D so now I'm wondering if I should pick up some Redshift skills.
Are the benefits of using Redshift over the standard renderer worth learning it?
EDIT - Thanks everyone for the replies and advice. I am jumping ship. Taking the leap. Hopping the fence. Biting the bullet. Walking the plank?... Will start takkng a Udemy course on Redshift.
Hey everyone!
I've been using Cinema 4D for the past 2 years and recently started learning Redshift using my Macbook Pro with an M1 chip. I do animations so my file sizes tend to be quite large which a lot of the time results in Redshift not having enough VRAM to run. I want to upgrade from my Mac to a PC but I don't know anything about PC building and there are so many graphics cards to choose from. Can you recommend me some good graphics cards that are not crazy expensive? I'd also appreciate some tips on how to build a PC on a budget.
Thanks in advance
So back in 2021, I got two RTX 3090 Graphics Cards for Redshift rendering (and note: I'm talking about REGULAR 3090 cards here, NOT 3090 Ti's).
Unfortunately, one of the 3090 cards died so I sent it back to the reseller.
They've told me they can't repair the card, but would be happy to provide me with a replacement 4070 Ti (as a straight swap) instead.
So I'm wondering... For the purposes of Redshift rendering, would a 4070 Ti card be more powerful? Or would a regular 3090 STILL be the more preferable option?
It's kind of difficult to find what aspects of a GPU make renders faster. For Redshift, all I could find is this site here...

And it seems to say that VRAM is the most important thing for rendering? In that case, I wonder if the 3090's 24GB of VRAM would be better than the 4070 Ti's 12GB?
What do you all think?
