Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4070 SUPER is faster for Blender rendering, but L4 24 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4070 SUPER leads by 72.0% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (5,929 vs 3,447). 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 12 GB on RTX 4070 SUPER. 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 220 W for RTX 4070 SUPER. If render speed is close, that can make L4 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 4070 SUPER is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose L4 24 GB would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
RTX 4070 SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 72.0%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4070 SUPER 72% faster than L4 24 GB.
Most VRAM: L4 24 GB 100% more VRAM than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Lowest power draw: L4 24 GB 67% lower rating than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Cheapest: RTX 4070 SUPER 76% cheaper than L4 24 GB.
Best value for money: RTX 4070 SUPER 616% better value than L4 24 GB.
L4 24 GB has 24 GB of VRAM, while RTX 4070 SUPER 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.
