When it comes to rendering, GTX and RTX graphics cards differ a lot but can vary depending on which types of projects you are doing as well as your budget. Both series is 3D rendering capable, but RTX cards include essential benefits.
Difference Between GTX RTX Graphics Cards
CUDA Cores: GTX cards boast CUDA cores but generally, they come equipped with far less than an RTX card.
With more CUDA cores, RTX cards process in parallel quicker – and of course this greatly benefits rendering using software such as Blender Cycles.
Ray Tracing: GTX has no RT cores, so real-time ray tracing is slower.
RTX cards have RT cores designed for real-time ray tracing, enabling far more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections in real-time engines like Eevee or Unreal Engine.
Price and Performance: GTX is cheaper so a more appealing option for someone just starting out, or on a budget.
RTX provides more powerful rendering performance (GPU-accelerated). An RTX card, if within budget, is the better choice for 3D rendering.
RTX cards are recommended for professional use and complex scenes, as they provide better rendering performance and ray tracing support. That said, if you’re not willing to spend a fortune, a GTX card can still do good job for most of tasks.
