It looks like these can be had for around $450-$480. Are there better alternatives in this price range?
Check the prices of RTX 3070s. The RTX 3070 seems to be the closest match for performance.

Is there an advantage of going with an nvidia card over an amd when it comes to video rendering? It looks like the sales for the 7800xt cards have stopped atm, but when they’re on sale, they only seem to be about $30-$50 more expensive than the older 3070 cards. In some cases, they’re the same price
Nvidia has better support than AMD, although AMD has been improving. But if you’re primarily interested in video rendering, you should be getting a workstation GPU, not a gaming GPU. And that goes for NVIDIA or AMD.
while AMD cards tend to have issues with bad driver support on some PC games, the Nvidia ones as the 3080 upwads, especially the 4xxx series suffer from quality and stability issues.
EXACTLY!!! And for that reason i dumped NVIDIA and switched to AMD cause i got tired of the buggy driver updates.
Is there a retailer that is selling them for $450. cheapest i found is $499 ATM.
Not at the moment. It looks like they were Black Friday deals, but I’d keep an eye out for “used - like new” gpus as there tends to be lots of returns after the holidays. It happened last year with the 6800xt cards
