NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

Blender score 629

Pascal GPU best suited to lighter Blender scenes, learning workflows, and budget-conscious rendering setups.

Last updated: March 31, 2026

Blender benchmark score

629

Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.

VRAM

8 GB

Enough for moderate scenes; heavy assets may push against the limit.

CUDA cores

2,432

Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.

Architecture

Pascal

Older architecture — check benchmark scores for a practical performance picture.

Memory bandwidth

256.3 GB/s

Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.

Boost clock

1683 MHz

Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.

Render support

OptiX, CUDA

OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.

TDP

180 W

Relatively efficient — manageable in most desktop builds.

Release year

2017
