Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
AI PRO R9700 32 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
AI PRO R9700 32 GB leads by 3.8% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,325 vs 3,205). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
AI PRO R9700 32 GB has more scene headroom with 32 GB of VRAM versus 24 GB on A10G 24 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
A10G 24 GB is the lower-power option at 150 W TDP, compared with 300 W for AI PRO R9700 32 GB. If render speed is close, that can make A10G 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
AI PRO R9700 32 GB is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose A10G 24 GB would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
AI PRO R9700 32 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 3.8%.
Fastest in Cycles: AI PRO R9700 32 GB 4% faster than A10G 24 GB.
Most VRAM: AI PRO R9700 32 GB 33% more VRAM than A10G 24 GB.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 50% lower rating than AI PRO R9700 32 GB.
