Blender benchmark score

265

Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.

VRAM

4 GB

Limited — best for simpler scenes and lighter workflows.

CUDA cores

512

Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.

Architecture

Turing

Older architecture — introduced hardware ray tracing for NVIDIA GPUs.

Memory bandwidth

96 GB/s

Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.

Boost clock

1785 MHz

Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.

Render support

OptiX

OptiX hardware acceleration provides the fastest Cycles rendering path.

TDP

75 W

Low power — easy to cool and efficient for smaller builds.

Release year

2022
