NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X
Maxwell 2.0 GPU aimed at mid-sized Blender scenes, everyday rendering, and strong value without flagship pricing.
Last updated: March 31, 2026
545
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
12 GB
Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.
3,072
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Maxwell 2.0
Older architecture — check benchmark scores for a practical performance picture.
336.6 GB/s
Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.
1089 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
250 W
Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.
