Mid tier graphics card for Blender on Linux? (piefed.social)

I am considering to build a desktop pc for 3d modelling and some rendering, mostly still images. Not interested in AI/crypto stuff, where apparetly most progress is focused. How should I think about it? Does it still make sense to avoid Nvidia? Maybe even second-hanf market is worth attention now?

Seems to me like the (online, non-used) GPU market is still messed up, or at least stunted (bloated?) compared to CPUs (pricing as a factor). So I guess I'm sticking with the 1050Ti still.

I'm pretty sure the modifier crashing I've had was just a Blender thing either way.
