Blender rendering score
Median score 34 (middle half of runs 33–38) across 5 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CUDA backend. That is #102 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #7 of 8 in the GeForce 700 series.
This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
