Graphics Performance

The Radeon RX 460 scores 4,099 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: Baffin), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 896 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 56 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 2.15 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1200 MHz from a base of 1090 MHz.
