Graphics Performance
The Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design scores 12,675 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU104), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3072 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 192 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 8.294 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1350 MHz from a base of 600 MHz.
