Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RX 6700 10 GB is the stronger Blender rendering pick here based on benchmark score.
Cycles rendering performance
RX 6700 10 GB leads by 6.3% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (1,303 vs 1,226). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
RX 6700 10 GB has more scene headroom with 10 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on RX 7650 GRE 8 GB. That matters most for large environments, dense geometry, high-resolution textures, and less optimized production files.
Power ratings and cooling
RX 7650 GRE 8 GB is the lower-power option at 165 W TDP, compared with 175 W for RX 6700 10 GB. If render speed is close, that can make RX 7650 GRE 8 GB easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RX 7650 GRE 8 GB is newer, but RX 6700 10 GB still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Comparison summary
RX 6700 10 GB leads the Blender benchmark score by 6.3%.
Fastest in Cycles: RX 6700 10 GB 6% faster than RX 7650 GRE 8 GB.
Most VRAM: RX 6700 10 GB 25% more VRAM than RX 7650 GRE 8 GB.
Lowest power draw: RX 7650 GRE 8 GB 6% lower rating than RX 6700 10 GB.
Cheapest: Cannot compare Price unavailable for some GPUs.
Best value for money: Cannot compare Price or benchmark unavailable for some GPUs.
RX 6700 10 GB has 10 GB of VRAM, while RX 7650 GRE 8 GB has 8 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.
