Phoronix: NVIDIA vs. AMD GPU Workstation Performance For Blender 4.3

With the recent release of Blender 4.3 for this leading open-source 3D modeling software, I've been carrying out some fresh NVIDIA vs. AMD GPU benchmarks for accelerated rendering across several different popular benchmark scenes.

Would be good to have a performance per $$$ cost of card graph too.

That, and performance-per-watt.
It appears Nvidia is wiping the floor with AMD but that maybe isn't true when factoring in cost and efficiency.

Only takeaway from this- AMD needs to step their game up. UDNA (merging CDNA+RDNA) should help, but software still needs some more love in all stacks.

Sadly however i dont know if amd have any response to optix

I'm don't think that picture would look compelling for AMD. The RTX 4000 Ada is a single slot 130W card that costs ~33% more than the W7900. It's more than 2x faster in some tests with the OptiX backend while consuming significantly less power .

That Optix performance is nuts, especially the single slot RTX 4000 with a 130W TBP.

Michael, it would be neat to see some Blender benchmarks with the Intel B580 when you get one.

Why no performance per watt graphs? Looks like AMD is holding steady in that aspect.

Where zluda?
