Blender benchmark score

544

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

VRAM

12 GB

Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.

CUDA cores

3,072

Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.

Architecture

Maxwell 2.0

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

Memory bandwidth

336.6 GB/s

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

Boost clock

1089 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

250 W

Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.

Release year

2015
