Blender rendering score
Median score 9,136 (middle half of runs 8,912–9,266) across 2,890 community runs on Blender 4.x with the OPTIX backend. That is #6 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #4 of 9 in the GeForce RTX 50 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.
