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 5060 is faster for Blender rendering, but TITAN X (Pascal) has more VRAM. That makes this a speed-versus-scene-headroom decision.
Blender render speed
RTX 5060 leads by 331.7% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (3,687 vs 854). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene headroom
TITAN X (Pascal) has more scene headroom with 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RTX 5060. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power and cooling
RTX 5060 is the lower-power option at 145 W TDP, compared with 250 W for TITAN X (Pascal). If render speed is close, that can make RTX 5060 easier to cool and run quietly.
Upgrade decision
RTX 5060 is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose TITAN X (Pascal) would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Quick take on RTX 5060 vs TITAN X (Pascal)
RTX 5060 leads the Blender benchmark score by 331.7%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 5060 3,687.06 score.
Most VRAM: TITAN X (Pascal) 12 GB.
Lowest power draw: RTX 5060 145 W TDP.
RTX 5060 has 8 GB of VRAM, while TITAN X (Pascal) 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.
