Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 5090 is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 5090 leads by 401.3% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (16,066 vs 3,205). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
RTX 5090 has more scene headroom with 32 GB of VRAM versus 24 GB on A10G 24 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 575 W for RTX 5090. If render speed is close, that can make A10G 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 5090 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 5090 leads the Blender benchmark score by 401.3%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 5090 401% faster than A10G 24 GB.
Most VRAM: RTX 5090 33% more VRAM than A10G 24 GB.
Lowest power draw: A10G 24 GB 74% lower rating than RTX 5090.
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 5090 has 32 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.
