Graphics Performance
The GeForce RTX 2070 scores 16,068 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU106), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2304 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 144 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 7.465 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1620 MHz from a base of 1410 MHz.
