Pick another GPU to open a side-by-side comparison.
7,201
Strong performer for most Blender workloads and mid-to-heavy scenes.
32 GB
Plenty of room for large scenes, dense geometry, and 4K–8K textures.
12,800
High core count for strong parallel rendering throughput.
Ada Lovelace
Current-generation design with efficient ray tracing and strong Cycles throughput.
576 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
2550 MHz
High clock speed — helps with viewport responsiveness and per-core performance.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
250 W
Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.
