Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is faster for Blender rendering, but AI PRO R9700 32 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER leads by 110.3% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (6,992 vs 3,325). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
AI PRO R9700 32 GB has more scene headroom with 32 GB of VRAM versus 16 GB on RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the lower-power option at 285 W TDP, compared with 300 W for AI PRO R9700 32 GB. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 4070 Ti SUPER easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
AI PRO R9700 32 GB is newer, but RTX 4070 Ti SUPER still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Comparison summary
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 110.3%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 110% faster than AI PRO R9700 32 GB.
Most VRAM: AI PRO R9700 32 GB 100% more VRAM than RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 5% lower rating than AI PRO R9700 32 GB.
Cheapest: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 24% cheaper than AI PRO R9700 32 GB.
Best value for money: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 175% better value than AI PRO R9700 32 GB.
AI PRO R9700 32 GB has 32 GB of VRAM, while RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 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.
