Graphics Performance

The Radeon R7 M460 scores 1,069 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 3.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: Meso), 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: 0.864 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1125 MHz from a base of 1100 MHz.
