Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER leads by 611.4% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (6,992 vs 983). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Both cards have 16 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
A2 16 GB is the lower-power option at 60 W TDP, compared with 285 W for RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. If render speed is close, that can make A2 16 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose A2 16 GB would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 611.4%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 611% faster than A2 16 GB.
Most VRAM: Tie Same memory capacity.
Lowest power draw: A2 16 GB 79% lower rating than RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
Cheapest: A2 16 GB 41% cheaper than RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
Best value for money: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 322% better value than A2 16 GB.
Both GPUs ship with 16 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.
