Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
PRO W6800 32 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
PRO W6800 32 GB leads by 93.4% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (1,946 vs 1,006). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
PRO W6800 32 GB has more scene headroom with 32 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RX 6800S 8 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
RX 6800S 8 GB is the lower-power option at 100 W TDP, compared with 250 W for PRO W6800 32 GB. If render speed is close, that can make RX 6800S 8 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RX 6800S 8 GB is newer, but PRO W6800 32 GB still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Comparison summary
PRO W6800 32 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 93.4%.
Fastest in Cycles: PRO W6800 32 GB 93% faster than RX 6800S 8 GB.
Most VRAM: PRO W6800 32 GB 300% more VRAM than RX 6800S 8 GB.
Lowest power draw: RX 6800S 8 GB 60% lower rating than PRO W6800 32 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
PRO W6800 32 GB has 32 GB of VRAM, while RX 6800S 8 GB 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.
