Blender Artist Workstation

$2,999.00
View product details

Optimized for most Blender tasks aside from rendering, this compact workstation delivers excellent performance thanks to Intel’s Core™ Ultra processors. Since many Blender operations are lightly-threaded, this system provides fast, responsive performance for modeling, sculpting, and animation.

However, it is limited to 96GB of memory and a single GPU—so if you need more power for complex scenes or rendering, consider our larger workstation options. For connectivity, it includes multiple USB ports (including Type-C), Thunderbolt 4, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and WiFi for seamless workflow integration. If you're unsure which system best suits your needs, check out our Recommended Hardware section.

Blender Rendering Workstation

$9,849.00
View product details

Built for high-performance rendering in Blender, this full-tower workstation is optimized for both CPU and GPU-based rendering, delivering the fastest speeds possible. Designed for users who prioritize rendering over modeling, it supports higher CPU core counts and multiple GPUs, making it a powerhouse for large-scale projects.

However, single-core performance is lower than our standard Blender workstation, and the overall cost is significantly higher. This configuration is ideal for those who need more than two GPUs or require over 192GB of memory for complex rendering workflows.

Blender Workstation Guide: Performance & Recommendations

Optimizing Workstation PCs for Blender

The Blender Foundation provides a list of system requirements, but like most software developers, these specs only cover the minimum hardware needed to run Blender—not what will deliver the best performance. At Workstation PC, we take a different approach, running extensive benchmark testing to determine the optimal hardware configurations for Blender’s unique demands. Our custom-built Blender workstations are designed to provide smooth modeling, seamless animation, and blazing-fast rendering, ensuring that your creativity is never held back by hardware limitations.

Choosing the Right CPU for Blender

Blender’s CPU requirements vary based on workflow:

  • Modeling and animation are primarily single-threaded, meaning a high-clock-speed CPU like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X will provide the best responsiveness.
  • Rendering and fluid simulations benefit from multi-core performance, making AMD’s Threadripper 7995WX the best choice for CPU-based rendering, with 96 cores and support for up to 1TB of RAM.

For those working across both modeling and rendering, Intel’s Turbo Boost technology dynamically adjusts clock speeds, providing the best balance between speed and multi-threading efficiency.

Optimizing GPU Performance for Blender

Blender’s Eevee and Cycles rendering engines rely heavily on the GPU, making a high-performance graphics card essential. We recommend:

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 – The fastest GPU for Blender, delivering top-tier CUDA and OptiX acceleration.
  • RTX 5080 or 4080 – Excellent performance at a lower cost, ideal for artists working in real-time rendering or GPU-accelerated workflows.

Blender scales well with multiple GPUs, so if you’re rendering large scenes, a multi-GPU workstation can significantly improve performance.

How Much RAM Does Blender Need?

The complexity of your projects determines RAM needs:

  • 16GB-32GB – Suitable for smaller scenes and general 3D work.
  • 64GB+ – Recommended for heavy simulations, sculpting, and high-resolution rendering.
  • 128GB-1TB – Necessary for large-scale VFX, fluid simulations, or ultra-high-resolution renders.

Storage Considerations for Blender Workstations

A fast storage setup improves scene loading, caching, and rendering speeds. We recommend:

  1. Primary Drive (500GB+ NVMe SSD) – For OS and applications.
  2. Project Drive (1-2TB NVMe SSD) – For active Blender files and cache.
  3. Long-Term Storage (HDD or NAS) – For backups and archived projects.

For studios, network-attached storage (NAS) provides shared access and data redundancy across multiple workstations.
