What are the best and fastest render plugins for Blender? (hybrid support:CPU+GPU)?

Support Lighting and Rendering

Hello Blender-artists,

I’am going to start a new project this year, and iam looking at new hardware and what is the best choice for a gpu ? AMD radeon rx 6900 xt, or a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 ??
I’ve planned to order a highend Windows 10 Hybrid pc (games + “workstation”) end of this year or next year, when worldwide economy has recovered from the Corona crisis and hoping there would be more avaible new hardware with lower prices !
I already have chosen the type of CPU: Amd Ryzen 9 5950x, but i did not chosen for the GPU type yet!

So iam looking for a high quality renderer for Blender , when you can say: i cant (hardly) see the difference between a render result and a high resolution picture of the real objects ! (render budget about €1000,-)

I found this list of renderes, but only a few renderers are availble for Blender and in this case i would think that Vray is the beste choice, because of the hybrid support (CPU+GPU) ???
But then i should choose Nvidia ?!
Here is the list, but i am looking for a list with Blender render plugins and the hardware acceleration support:

Right now iam working on this game laptop:

Nvidia is the way to go with Blender for now since Cycles supports Optix and CUDA well in the latest versions.

AMD’s Prorender is available as a 3rd party renderer, and that is probably a most mature renderer for the AMD based GPU cards. Prorender also works with the Nvidia stuff.

Thanks for your reply !

Yes, i was thinking too, that the best choice i a nvidia RTX 3090, but it is more expensive then the AMD 6900 xt
And this is one of the best rtx 3090, with gpu clock on 1,92 GHz !
