Graphics Performance

The GeForce GTX TITAN X scores 12,621 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 Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: GM200), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3072 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 192 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 6.691 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1075 MHz from a base of 1000 MHz.
