Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4080 SUPER is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4080 SUPER leads by 651.2% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (8,067 vs 1,074). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Both cards have 16 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
Pro VII 16 GB is the lower-power option at 250 W TDP, compared with 320 W for RTX 4080 SUPER. If render speed is close, that can make Pro VII 16 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 4080 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 4080 SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 651.2%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4080 SUPER 651% faster than Pro VII 16 GB.
Most VRAM: Tie Same memory capacity.
Lowest power draw: Pro VII 16 GB 22% lower rating than RTX 4080 SUPER.
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 16 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.
