Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB leads by 13.6% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (6,587 vs 5,798). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB has more scene headroom with 24 GB of VRAM versus 12 GB on RTX 5070. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB is the lower-power option at 140 W TDP, compared with 250 W for RTX 5070. If render speed is close, that can make RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB is the straightforward performance pick, while RTX 5070 needs a price, power, availability, or compatibility advantage to make more sense.
Comparison summary
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 13.6%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB 14% faster than RTX 5070.
Most VRAM: RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB 100% more VRAM than RTX 5070.
Lowest power draw: RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB 44% lower rating than RTX 5070.
Cheapest: RTX 5070 73% cheaper than RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell 24 GB.
