Blender benchmark score

5,399

Solid mid-range speed for everyday rendering and moderate scenes.

VRAM

12 GB

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

CUDA cores

5,888

Solid core count for most Blender rendering tasks.

Architecture

Ada Lovelace

Current-generation design with efficient ray tracing and strong Cycles throughput.

Memory bandwidth

504.2 GB/s

Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
