Graphics Performance
The GeForce MX330 scores 2,350 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP108), manufactured on a 14 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 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.224 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1594 MHz from a base of 1531 MHz.
