Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
L4 24 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Cycles rendering performance
L4 24 GB leads by 7.6% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,447 vs 3,205). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Both cards have 24 GB of VRAM, so the decision is less about scene capacity and more about render speed, architecture, power draw, and price.
Power ratings and cooling
L4 24 GB is the lower-power option at 72 W TDP, compared with 150 W for A10G 24 GB. If render speed is close, that can make L4 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
L4 24 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
L4 24 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 7.6%.
Fastest in Cycles: L4 24 GB 8% faster than A10G 24 GB.
Most VRAM: Tie Same memory capacity.
Lowest power draw: L4 24 GB 52% lower rating than A10G 24 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
Both GPUs ship with 24 GB of VRAM, so the tradeoff is more about speed, architecture, and efficiency than memory capacity.
If you are deciding between these cards for Blender, focus first on Blender benchmark score, VRAM capacity, memory bandwidth, and whether your scenes are likely to benefit more from raw speed or extra memory headroom. The comparison table above keeps those tradeoffs in one place.
