Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of GeForce MX130 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The GeForce MX130 scores 1,805 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 Maxwell (2014−2017) architecture (codename: GM108), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.9539 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1242 MHz from a base of 1122 MHz.
