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 8.4% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,205 vs 2,956). 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 RTX 3070. 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 220 W for RTX 3070. 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 both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose RTX 3070 would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
A10G 24 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 8.4%.
Fastest in Cycles: A10G 24 GB 8% faster than RTX 3070.
Most VRAM: A10G 24 GB 200% more VRAM than RTX 3070.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 32% lower rating than RTX 3070.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
A10G 24 GB has 24 GB of VRAM, while RTX 3070 has 8 GB, which matters when scenes, textures, or geometry get heavier.
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.
