Estimated Render Times for One Frame of Benchmark Scenes
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 980
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, with its Maxwell 2.0 architecture, was a powerhouse in its time, offering solid performance for Blender users despite its 4 GB VRAM limitation. While it may not meet the current professional standards for VRAM, it still provides a decent rendering experience for smaller projects.
Pros:
- Good performance for older projects
- Efficient power consumption
Cons:
- Limited VRAM for modern Blender projects
- Outdated architecture compared to current GPUs
The GTX 980 remains a viable option for Blender users working on less demanding projects, but its limited VRAM and older architecture may not suffice for more complex scenes.
