Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon HD 7310 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon HD 7310 scores 128 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 1.0 (2012−2020) architecture (codename: Cape Verde), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.6144 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
