Graphics Performance
The Radeon Pro W6800X Duo scores 14,742 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture (codename: Navi 21), manufactured on a 7 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3840 ×2 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 240 ×2 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ×2 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 15.11 TFLOPS ×2 — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1967 MHz from a base of 1800 MHz.
