Blender

Blender PCs: built for Cycles and Eevee, not just gaming.

Cycles is the workload that punishes badly-specified workstations. Our Blender builds use the right GPU/VRAM balance, ECC memory on the Studio tier and sustained-load cooling tested with real render scenes.

Cycles + Eevee tuned
Up to RTX 6000 Pro 96GB
OptiX denoising
5-year warranty

Recommended Blender specs by workload

Blender's Cycles renderer is GPU-accelerated, so GPU power and VRAM are the biggest levers, with CPU cores helping simulation and CPU rendering.

Recommended Blender specs by workload
	Workflow	Recommended CPU	GPU / VRAM
Modelling, sculpting & animation	Ryzen 7 9800X3D / Core Ultra 7	RTX 5070 Ti / 16GB	32GB
GPU rendering: Cycles / OptiX	Ryzen 9 9950X	RTX 5090 / 32GB	64GB
Heavy simulation & large scenes	Ryzen 9 9950X / Threadripper	RTX 5080–5090 / 16–32GB	128GB

Cycles renders fastest on NVIDIA via OptiX, and VRAM caps GPU scene size: 16GB is comfortable, 32GB (RTX 5090) for the largest scenes. CPU cores speed up simulations and CPU rendering.

Why CREATE PCs

OptiX-ready

NVIDIA OptiX is the fastest path in Cycles by a wide margin. We ship with current Studio drivers and OptiX denoiser configured.

Scene-tested cooling

Cycles renders hold the GPU at 100% for hours. We test our cooling with actual Blender benchmark scenes, not synthetic loops.

Multi-GPU done right

Two RTX 5090s in a workstation chassis with 1600W Platinum PSU and validated airflow. Sustained dual-GPU loads tested for 24 hours pre-dispatch.

Blender PCs FAQs

Does Cycles support multiple GPUs?

Yes. Cycles scales near-linearly with additional GPUs of the same architecture. Two RTX 5090s render roughly twice as fast as one. NVLink is not required.

How much VRAM does Blender need?

Scene-dependent. Architectural scenes routinely exceed 16GB; character work fits in 8–12GB. 32GB on the RTX 5090 is comfortable headroom for almost any single-scene workload.

CPU vs GPU rendering?

GPU rendering via Cycles X is the right answer for almost all Blender workloads in 2026, typically 10–30× faster than CPU. We spec a strong CPU primarily for modelling, sculpting and animation playback.
