Graphics Performance

The Radeon 3020e scores 505 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 GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) architecture (codename: Polaris 23), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 512 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.247 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1218 MHz from a base of 1082 MHz.
