Benchmark comparison
Estimated render times for standard Blender benchmark scenes. Lower is faster.
These timings are derived from Blender Open Data benchmark medians and should be treated as comparative estimates, not guaranteed real-project render times.
Quick take on RTX 3070 Ti vs RTX 5090
RTX 5090 leads the Blender benchmark score by 299.6%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 5090 15,013.94 score.
Most VRAM: RTX 5090 32 gb.
Lowest power draw: RTX 3070 Ti 290 w tdp.
RTX 3070 Ti has 8 GB of VRAM, while RTX 5090 has 32 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.
