Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 3080 Ti is faster for Blender rendering, but A10G 24 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 3080 Ti leads by 51.1% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (4,843 vs 3,205). 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 12 GB on RTX 3080 Ti. 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 350 W for RTX 3080 Ti. If render speed is close, that can make A10G 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 3080 Ti is the straightforward performance pick, while A10G 24 GB needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
RTX 3080 Ti leads the Blender benchmark score by 51.1%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 3080 Ti 51% faster than A10G 24 GB.
Most VRAM: A10G 24 GB 100% more VRAM than RTX 3080 Ti.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 57% lower rating than RTX 3080 Ti.
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 3080 Ti has 12 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.
