Graphics Performance

The GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q scores 6,314 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU117), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1024 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 64 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 2.304 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1125 MHz from a base of 930 MHz.
