Alright, thanks! Unfortunately here 3090 appear to be really expensive card, varying from 2000 to 2500€, so that might not be an option unless the prices drop down.
Another option I was considering is using SLI, maybe with 2 x 3060ti cards. That might do the trick having more horse power for the rendering.

Usually 3D software don't really need all that power, until you go for the rendering. But then here one can just make some low quality test and then make the software run overnight to complete high definition renders. More power = smaller render time.

But in this case Lumion renders real time, like Unreal Engine or like any videogames we usually play. The difference is that you work on models, imports, lights, texture displacement, reflections/retractions all while visualizing it in real time. And that is massively power consuming. Thus the high req machine is needed.

Thanks for the hints, I think we'll wait a bit!

Hi, didnt you consider the workstation GPUs like QUADRO series?

It was mentioned in the original post that he doesn't want to deal with Quados.

OP you're on the right track for a build based on your pcpartpicker but I think you should go for an AMD build instead of Intel as you're probably going to either squeeze a little more performance out of the CPU or spend less money.

Don't know too much about Lumion 11 but 5900x has a 3500 CPUMark where Lumion calls for 2600 for "high end requirements". You might be going overkill going with that. What it really seems like here is that this software is a GPU hog (calls for A GPU scoring a G3DMark of 20,000 or higher for high-end requirements) and you're going to want to get a 2080ti or a 3000 series card that outperforms it if you're able to get your hands on one (the 3070 on pcpartpicker is good).
