Graphics Performance

The GeForce 7800 GT scores 244 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK110B), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2880 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 240 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 5.345 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 928 MHz from a base of 875 MHz.
