Graphics Performance

The RADEON 9800 SE scores 24 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 3.5 (2024−2025) architecture (codename: Strix Halo), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2560 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 160 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 14.85 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2900 MHz from a base of 1295 MHz.
