Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
L4 24 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
L4 24 GB leads by 16.3% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,447 vs 2,964). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
L4 24 GB has more scene headroom with 24 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RTX 4060. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
L4 24 GB is the lower-power option at 72 W TDP, compared with 115 W for RTX 4060. If render speed is close, that can make L4 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
L4 24 GB is the straightforward performance pick, while RTX 4060 needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
L4 24 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 16.3%.
Fastest in Cycles: L4 24 GB 16% faster than RTX 4060.
Most VRAM: L4 24 GB 200% more VRAM than RTX 4060.
Lowest power draw: L4 24 GB 37% lower rating than RTX 4060.
Cheapest: RTX 4060 88% cheaper than L4 24 GB.
Best value for money: RTX 4060 644% better value than L4 24 GB.
L4 24 GB has 24 GB of VRAM, while RTX 4060 has 8 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.
