Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 24,805 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD104), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 7424 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 232 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 80 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 24.72 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2010 MHz from a base of 1290 MHz.
