Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
TITAN V is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
TITAN V leads by 54.8% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (1,745 vs 1,127). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
TITAN V has more scene headroom with 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RTX 3050. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
RTX 3050 is the lower-power option at 130 W TDP, compared with 250 W for TITAN V. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 3050 easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 3050 is newer, but TITAN V still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Comparison summary
TITAN V leads the Blender benchmark score by 54.8%.
Fastest in Cycles: TITAN V 55% faster than RTX 3050.
Most VRAM: TITAN V 50% more VRAM than RTX 3050.
Lowest power draw: RTX 3050 48% lower rating than TITAN V.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
RTX 3050 has 8 GB of VRAM, while TITAN V has 12 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.
