Benchmark comparison
Estimated seconds to render one frame of each standard Blender benchmark scene. 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.
Which GPU makes more sense?
RTX 3070 is faster for Blender rendering, but TITAN Xp has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Blender render speed
RTX 3070 leads by 256.6% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,378 vs 947). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene headroom
TITAN Xp has more scene headroom with 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RTX 3070. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power and cooling
RTX 3070 is the lower-power option at 220 W TDP, compared with 250 W for TITAN Xp. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 3070 easier to cool and run quietly.
Upgrade decision
RTX 3070 is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose TITAN Xp would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Quick take on RTX 3070 vs TITAN Xp
RTX 3070 leads the Blender benchmark score by 256.6%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 3070 3,378.34 score.
Most VRAM: TITAN Xp 12 GB.
Lowest power draw: RTX 3070 220 W TDP.
RTX 3070 has 8 GB of VRAM, while TITAN Xp 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.
