NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
Ada Lovelace GPU aimed at mid-sized Blender scenes, everyday rendering, and strong value without flagship pricing.
Last updated: March 31, 2026
5,401
Solid mid-range speed for everyday rendering and moderate scenes.
12 GB
Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.
5,888
Solid core count for most Blender rendering tasks.
Ada Lovelace
Current-generation design with efficient ray tracing and strong Cycles throughput.
504.2 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
2475 MHz
Standard clock speed for modern GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
200 W
Relatively efficient — manageable in most desktop builds.
