3,133
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
8 GB
Enough for moderate scenes; heavy assets may push against the limit.
3,072
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Ada Lovelace
Current-generation design with efficient ray tracing and strong Cycles throughput.
272 GB/s
Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.
2460 MHz
Standard clock speed for modern GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
115 W
Low power — easy to cool and efficient for smaller builds.
