Pick another GPU to open a side-by-side comparison.
5,592
Solid mid-range speed for everyday rendering and moderate scenes.
12 GB
Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.
10,240
High core count for strong parallel rendering throughput.
Ampere
Previous-generation design — still competitive, especially at higher VRAM tiers.
912.4 GB/s
Strong bandwidth for most Blender rendering scenarios.
1665 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
350 W
Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.
