Graphics Performance
The GeForce PCX 5300 scores 6 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 (2025−2026) architecture (codename: GB202), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 21760 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 680 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 176 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 104.8 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2407 MHz from a base of 2017 MHz.
