Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RX 6700 10 GB is faster for Blender rendering, but A2 16 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RX 6700 10 GB leads by 32.6% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (1,303 vs 983). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
A2 16 GB has more scene headroom with 16 GB of VRAM versus 10 GB on RX 6700 10 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
A2 16 GB is the lower-power option at 60 W TDP, compared with 175 W for RX 6700 10 GB. If render speed is close, that can make A2 16 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RX 6700 10 GB is the straightforward performance pick, while A2 16 GB needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
RX 6700 10 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 32.6%.
Fastest in Cycles: RX 6700 10 GB 33% faster than A2 16 GB.
Most VRAM: A2 16 GB 60% more VRAM than RX 6700 10 GB.
Lowest power draw: A2 16 GB 66% lower rating than RX 6700 10 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
