Graphics Performance
The GRID K340 scores 650 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK107), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 ×4 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 ×4 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ×4 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.7296 TFLOPS ×4 — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
