Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of GeForce 9200M GS specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The GeForce 9200M GS scores 129 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 Maxwell (2014−2017) architecture (codename: GM108), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 256 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.5084 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 993 MHz from a base of 965 MHz.
