Graphics Performance
The P106-100 scores 6,628 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Pascal (2016−2021) architecture (codename: GP104), manufactured on a 16 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1920 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 120 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 6.655 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1733 MHz from a base of 1607 MHz.
