Blender Benchmark Results (Updated Scores)

The Open Source Digital Content Creation Software Blender is among the most popular 3D-Modeling, -Animation, -Rendering, Video Editing & Compositing Solutions on the market.

It is so popular, that in some of our own Surveys, Blender takes the lead as the currently most used 3D Content Creation Software – and all that while being free. If you are in the market for a high-performance Workstation, check our guide to building the best Blender PC.

It is no surprise then, that Blender has its own Benchmark, which too is extremely popular and widely used in determining the rendering performance of Processors and Graphics Cards.

The Blender Benchmark can render its scenes on either the CPU or multiple GPUs, depending on what you want to test.

The following list shows how CPUs score in the Blender when running the bmw27 Scene Benchmark:

Blender CPU (BMW) Benchmark Results

▮ = AMD   |   ▮ = Intel  –  Lower is better

Blender’s CPU Render Benchmark test is based on one of Blender’s in-built Render Engines, “Cycles”. The list above shows the CPU Ranking when rendering the first and most popular benchmark Scene “bmw27”. The reason this scene is used most often is that rendering the entire benchmark suite with all scenes takes quite a while. Too long for many.

You’ll find the BMW Scene completes after just a couple of minutes on most modern CPUs.

Blender GPU (BMW) Benchmark Results (OptiX)

Lower is better.

Nvidia RTX GPUs support OptiX which is an SDK that accelerates rendering through the use of raytracing cores. GTX GPUs don’t have RT Cores, so these score considerably lower in this GPU Benchmark.

The combination of a high number of CUDA-Cores, OptiX support, and (if your scenes are complex) a large VRAM pool, grants the highest render performance in Blender’s Cycles Render Engine.
