Graphics Performance

The Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16,183 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) architecture (codename: Navi 10), manufactured on a 7 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2560 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 160 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 9.754 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1905 MHz from a base of 1605 MHz.
