Graphics Performance
The Radeon X1600 Pro scores 99 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Aging 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 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 128 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 6.39 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1560 MHz from a base of 1130 MHz.
