Blender benchmark: GPU ranking and our measurements
Benchmark pages often copy figures whose origin nobody knows. Here there are only two sources, each with its method and its date: the public ranking of Blender Open Data, then what our machines actually measured.
GPU and CPU ranking, Blender Open Data
Blender Open Data is the public database of the Blender Benchmark, the Blender Foundation tool that renders real scenes on each tester's machine. Each line below is the median of a model's submissions, limited to Blender 5.0.0, 5.1.0, 5.1.1, 5.2.0, that is 24,668 submissions kept in the data collected on 12 September 2026. The higher the score, the more frames per minute the machine renders on the same scene. These are not TURNA measurements.
The top 10 graphics cards
Median score per card and per compute backend.

| 2 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 | Desktop | OptiX | 16,171 | 485 |
| 3 | NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition | Pro workstation | OptiX | 15,571 | 24 |
| 4 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 | Desktop | OptiX | 11,534 | 270 |
| 5 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 | Desktop | OptiX | 9,164 | 818 |
| 6 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 | Desktop | OptiX | 8,370 | 133 |
| 7 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER | Desktop | OptiX | 8,231 | 92 |
| 8 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU | Laptop | OptiX | 8,163 | 101 |
| 9 | Apple M5 Max (GPU - 40 cores) | Apple Silicon | Metal | 8,107 | 211 |
| 10 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti | Desktop | OptiX | 7,705 | 592 |
The top 5 processors
Same scene and same points scale as the graphics cards.
| # | Model | Segment | Compute | Median score | Submissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 16-Core Processor | Desktop | CPU | 737 | 107 |
| 2 | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core Processor | Desktop | CPU | 703 | 435 |
| 3 | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor | Desktop | CPU | 671 | 323 |
| 4 | Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus | Desktop | CPU | 634 | 168 |
| 5 | AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-Core Processor | Laptop | CPU | 631 | 31 |
All 55 graphics cards and 55 processors in the data, with a search by model, are on the full GPU and processor ranking page.
How long our customers' scenes take to render
Each machine reports its compute time and the number of images it produced. This table draws on 48 customer renders and 6,908 images. 2 other renders (184 images), whose engine was not identified, are left out.
| Render engine | Renders measured | Images measured | Time per image (median) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cycles | 22 | 3,505 | 5.54 s |
| EEVEE | 22 | 2,453 | 0.76 s |
| EEVEE Next | 4 | 950 | 0.97 s |
Read with care: these times describe the load of the scenes entrusted to us. They do not measure the speed of TURNA. Each render carries a different scene, with its own textures, samples and resolution. A Cycles scene at 5.54 s per image cannot be compared with an EEVEE scene at 0.76 s.
A reproducible reference measurement
To compare, you need the same scene on both sides. Our bench builds a deterministic scene and samples it during the render, which gives a measurement that can be repeated and challenged.

Card utilisation during rendering
On the 32 renders long enough to be measured, the peak utilisation of the card during rendering has a median of 98%.
What we do not measure yet
We have no card-by-card comparison on our own machines: the ranking above is taken from Blender Open Data. The cards served are RTX 5090 first, RTX 4090 otherwise, with an emergency fallback to the RTX 3090 when supply runs short, rented in Europe first (details on the security page).
Measure on your own scene
The only figure that matters to you is the one for your scene. The calculator estimates the cost before launch, and you are billed for the time actually used.
