Graphics Performance

The GeForce G 105M scores 92 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 Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP107), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 640 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 40 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.862 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1392 MHz from a base of 1290 MHz.
