Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
A10G 24 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
A10G 24 GB leads by 173.7% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,205 vs 1,171). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
A10G 24 GB has more scene headroom with 24 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on CMP 40HX 8 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 185 W for CMP 40HX 8 GB. If render speed is close, that can make A10G 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
A10G 24 GB is the straightforward performance pick, while CMP 40HX 8 GB needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
A10G 24 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 173.7%.
Fastest in Cycles: A10G 24 GB 174% faster than CMP 40HX 8 GB.
Most VRAM: A10G 24 GB 200% more VRAM than CMP 40HX 8 GB.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 19% lower rating than CMP 40HX 8 GB.
