Which GPU should you choose for Blender?
RTX 4070 SUPER is the stronger Blender rendering pick here, and both cards have the same VRAM capacity.
Cycles rendering performance
RTX 4070 SUPER leads by 16.0% in the Renderjuice Blender benchmark model (5,962 vs 5,141). For render-time-first decisions, that is the card to prioritize.
VRAM and scene capacity
Both cards have 12 GB of VRAM, so the decision is less about scene capacity and more about render speed, architecture, power draw, and price.
Power ratings and cooling
RTX 4070 is the lower-power option at 200 W TDP, compared with 220 W for RTX 4070 SUPER. If render speed is close, that can make RTX 4070 easier to cool and run quietly.
Is the upgrade worthwhile?
RTX 4070 SUPER is both the newer and faster Blender rendering choice here. The main reason to choose RTX 4070 would be price, availability, existing ownership, or a specific workstation requirement.
Comparison summary
RTX 4070 SUPER leads the Blender benchmark score by 16.0%.
Fastest in Cycles: RTX 4070 SUPER 16% faster than RTX 4070.
Most VRAM: Tie Same memory capacity.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4070 9% lower rating than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Cheapest: RTX 4070 15% cheaper than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Best value for money: RTX 4070 2% better value than RTX 4070 SUPER.
Both GPUs ship with 12 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.
