Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4070 SUPER is faster for Blender rendering, but Pro VII 16 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4070 SUPER leads by 452.1% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (5,929 vs 1,074). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Pro VII 16 GB has more scene headroom with 16 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
RTX 4070 SUPER is the lower-power option at 220 W TDP, compared with 250 W for Pro VII 16 GB. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 4070 SUPER 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 Pro VII 16 GB would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
RTX 4070 SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 452.1%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4070 SUPER 452% faster than Pro VII 16 GB.
Most VRAM: Pro VII 16 GB 33% more VRAM than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4070 SUPER 12% lower rating than Pro VII 16 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
