Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 3070 Ti is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 3070 Ti leads by 187.8% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,369 vs 1,171). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Both cards have 8 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
CMP 40HX 8 GB is the lower-power option at 185 W TDP, compared with 290 W for RTX 3070 Ti. If render speed is close, that can make CMP 40HX 8 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 3070 Ti is the straightforward performance pick, while CMP 40HX 8 GB needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
RTX 3070 Ti leads the Blender benchmark score by 187.8%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 3070 Ti 188% faster than CMP 40HX 8 GB.
Most VRAM: Tie Same memory capacity.
Lowest power draw: CMP 40HX 8 GB 36% lower rating than RTX 3070 Ti.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
Both GPUs ship with 8 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.
