Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of GeForce 505 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The GeForce 505 scores 144 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere (2020−2025) architecture (codename: GA107), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 64 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 40 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.731 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1155 MHz from a base of 832 MHz.
