Blender rendering score
Median score 279 (middle half of runs 237–331) across 7 community runs on Blender 4.x with the METAL backend. That is #89 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #2 of 2 in the Radeon 500 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.
