Compute Benchmarks

Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases people who game also do work on the side. So it is also important to check out the compute performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was a simple GPU Compute benchmark using PassMark's Performance Test 10 and the RTX 4070 Ventus is below the Founders Edition Here by 9 points. More importantly, both cards are out in front of the RTX 3080 and sitting behind the 7900 XTX.

Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The RTX 4070 Ventus was back in front of the Founders Edition 4070 here in all three tests which added up to a bigger margin than you would expect everything considered. Both cards sit below the 3090 Ti and above the RTX 3080 with a larger gap between them and the 3080 than the 3090 Ti on this one.

For CUDA-based cards, I also check out OctaneRender performance using their OctaneBench 2060.1 benchmark which allows me to check out both RTX and non-RTX rendering performance. The RTX 4070 Ventus scored 479.59 without RTX which was 5 points ahead of the Founders Edition 4070 and 653.4 for the RTX test which was 6 points ahead of the 4070 FE. Both cards are behind the 3090 Ti here and ahead of the RTX 3080. The gap in performance between the RTX 4070 and the RTX 3080 is small on the non-RTX test but with RTX they are much farther ahead.

An additional CUDA-based test I also ran V-Ray Benchmark 5 to check out CUDA and RTX performance in the 3D rendering and simulation software. The RTX 4070 Ventus 3X outperformed the Founders Edition in both the CUDA and RTX tests here by a small amount. Both cards are out in front of the RTX 3080 as well.
