Benchmark comparison
Estimated seconds to render one frame of each standard Blender benchmark scene. Lower is faster.
These timings are derived from Blender Open Data benchmark medians and should be treated as comparative estimates, not guaranteed real-project render times.
Which GPU makes more sense?
RTX 4080 is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Blender render speed
RTX 4080 leads by 23.2% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (8,733 vs 7,087). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene headroom
Both cards have 16 GB of VRAM, so the decision is less about scene capacity and more about render speed, architecture, power draw, and price.
Power and cooling
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the lower-power option at 285 W TDP, compared with 320 W for RTX 4080. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 4070 Ti SUPER easier to cool and run quietly.
Upgrade decision
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is newer, but RTX 4080 still leads this Blender benchmark comparison. That makes the older card worth considering when used pricing or VRAM capacity is favorable.
Quick take on RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs RTX 4080
RTX 4080 leads the Blender benchmark score by 23.2%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 4080 8,733.36 score.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 285 W TDP.
Both GPUs ship with 16 GB of VRAM, so the tradeoff is more about speed, architecture, and efficiency than memory capacity.
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.
