Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RX 6700M 10 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
RX 6700M 10 GB leads by 58.6% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (807 vs 509). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
RX 6700M 10 GB has more scene headroom with 10 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on Pro W5500 8 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
Pro W5500 8 GB is the lower-power option at 125 W TDP, compared with 135 W for RX 6700M 10 GB. If render speed is close, that can make Pro W5500 8 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RX 6700M 10 GB is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose Pro W5500 8 GB would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
RX 6700M 10 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 58.6%.
Fastest in Cycles: RX 6700M 10 GB 59% faster than Pro W5500 8 GB.
Most VRAM: RX 6700M 10 GB 25% more VRAM than Pro W5500 8 GB.
Lowest power draw: Pro W5500 8 GB 7% lower rating than RX 6700M 10 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
Pro W5500 8 GB has 8 GB of VRAM, while RX 6700M 10 GB has 10 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.
