Graphics Performance
The GeForce4 Ti 4200 scores 6 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 Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD102), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 16384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 512 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 176 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 82.58 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2520 MHz from a base of 2235 MHz.
