Graphics Performance
The Radeon Pro 580X scores 7,540 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 GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) architecture (codename: Polaris 20), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2304 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 144 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 5.53 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1200 MHz from a base of 1100 MHz.
