Graphics Performance

The GeForce FX 5700VE scores 33 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 Fermi 2.0 (2010−2014) architecture (codename: GF110), manufactured on a 40 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 480 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 60 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 40 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.405 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
