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 4080 SUPER is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Blender render speed
RTX 4080 SUPER leads by 119.8% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (8,426 vs 3,833). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene headroom
RTX 4080 SUPER has more scene headroom with 16 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RTX 4060 Ti. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power and cooling
RTX 4060 Ti is the lower-power option at 160 W TDP, compared with 320 W for RTX 4080 SUPER. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 4060 Ti easier to cool and run quietly.
Upgrade decision
RTX 4080 SUPER is the straightforward performance pick, while RTX 4060 Ti needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Quick take on RTX 4060 Ti vs RTX 4080 SUPER
RTX 4080 SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 119.8%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 4080 SUPER 8,425.82 score.
Most VRAM: RTX 4080 SUPER 16 GB.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4060 Ti 160 W TDP.
RTX 4060 Ti has 8 GB of VRAM, while RTX 4080 SUPER has 16 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.
