Pick another GPU to open a side-by-side comparison.
2,939
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
24 GB
Plenty of room for large scenes, dense geometry, and 4K–8K textures.
4,608
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Turing
Older architecture — introduced hardware ray tracing for NVIDIA GPUs.
672 GB/s
Moderate bandwidth — sufficient for standard rendering workloads.
1770 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
260 W
Moderate power needs — standard workstation PSU and cooling should be fine.
