GeForce RTX 2070
Turing GPU best suited to lighter Blender scenes, learning workflows, and budget-conscious rendering setups.
Last updated: March 31, 2026
2,211
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
8 GB
Enough for moderate scenes; heavy assets may push against the limit.
2,304
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Turing
Older architecture — introduced hardware ray tracing for NVIDIA GPUs.
448 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
1620 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
175 W
Relatively efficient — manageable in most desktop builds.
