Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 5080 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 5080 leads by 184.8% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (9,128 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 16 GB on RTX 5080. 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 360 W for RTX 5080. If render speed is close, that can make A10G 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 5080 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
RTX 5080 leads the Blender benchmark score by 184.8%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 5080 185% faster than A10G 24 GB.
Most VRAM: A10G 24 GB 50% more VRAM than RTX 5080.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 58% lower rating than RTX 5080.
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 5080 has 16 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.
