Estimated Render Times for One Frame of Benchmark Scenes

OpenData Score: 163.88

Our estimated render times for one frame of benchmark scenes

Benchmark scores on this page are derived from Blender Open Data snapshot medians for classroom, junkshop, and monster. The one-frame render time chart is our derived estimate based on those medians and the legacy page formula, so it should be treated as an estimate rather than an official Blender timing.

Our Take on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, with its Maxwell 2.0 architecture, was a solid performer at its release in 2015. However, for modern Blender users, its 2 GB of VRAM can be a limiting factor, especially for complex scenes.

Pros:

  • Affordable entry-level option
  • Efficient power consumption for its time

Cons:

  • Limited VRAM at 2 GB
  • Older architecture may struggle with current Blender demands

While the GTX 960 was a capable GPU in its prime, its limited VRAM and older architecture make it less ideal for today's demanding Blender projects.
