Compare GTX 1070 Ti to...
Pick another GPU to open a side-by-side comparison.
628
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
8 GB
Enough for moderate scenes; heavy assets may push against the limit.
2,432
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Pascal
Older architecture — check benchmark scores for a practical performance picture.
256.3 GB/s
Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.
1683 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
180 W
Relatively efficient — manageable in most desktop builds.

Benchmark performance
This chart estimates how many seconds this GPU takes to render one frame of each standard Blender benchmark scene, so you can compare practical rendering speed at a glance.
These are single-frame estimates derived from Blender Open Data benchmark medians at the scene sample counts, not full-animation render times or guarantees for every real project.
