Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
CMP 40HX 8 GB is faster for Blender rendering, but TITAN Xp has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
CMP 40HX 8 GB leads by 24.2% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (1,171 vs 943). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
TITAN Xp has more scene headroom with 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on CMP 40HX 8 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
CMP 40HX 8 GB is the lower-power option at 185 W TDP, compared with 250 W for TITAN Xp. If render speed is close, that can make CMP 40HX 8 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
CMP 40HX 8 GB is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose TITAN Xp would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
CMP 40HX 8 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 24.2%.
Fastest in Cycles: CMP 40HX 8 GB 24% faster than TITAN Xp.
Most VRAM: TITAN Xp 50% more VRAM than CMP 40HX 8 GB.
Lowest power draw: CMP 40HX 8 GB 26% lower rating than TITAN Xp.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
CMP 40HX 8 GB has 8 GB of VRAM, while TITAN Xp has 12 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.
