Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 3080 10 GB is faster for Blender rendering, but PRO W7900 48 GB has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 3080 10 GB leads by 16.3% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (4,208 vs 3,619). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
PRO W7900 48 GB has more scene headroom with 48 GB of VRAM versus 10 GB on RTX 3080 10 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
PRO W7900 48 GB is the lower-power option at 295 W TDP, compared with 320 W for RTX 3080 10 GB. If render speed is close, that can make PRO W7900 48 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
PRO W7900 48 GB is newer, but RTX 3080 10 GB still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Comparison summary
RTX 3080 10 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 16.3%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 3080 10 GB 16% faster than PRO W7900 48 GB.
Most VRAM: PRO W7900 48 GB 380% more VRAM than RTX 3080 10 GB.
Lowest power draw: PRO W7900 48 GB 8% lower rating than RTX 3080 10 GB.
