Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of P102-100 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The P102-100 scores 3,301 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 Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP102), manufactured on a 16 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3200 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 200 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 80 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 10.77 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1683 MHz from a base of 1582 MHz.
