Graphics Performance

The GeForce GTX Titan scores 8,181 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK110), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2688 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 224 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.709 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 876 MHz from a base of 837 MHz.
