NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal)
Pascal GPU aimed at mid-sized Blender scenes, everyday rendering, and strong value without flagship pricing.
Last updated: March 31, 2026
854
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
12 GB
Adequate for mid-complexity scenes; may need care with very large textures.
3,584
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Pascal
Older architecture — check benchmark scores for a practical performance picture.
480.4 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
1531 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX
OptiX hardware acceleration provides the fastest Cycles rendering path.
250 W
Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.
