Graphics Performance
The RTX 3500 Ada Generation Embedded GPU scores 25,267 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Enthusiast tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD104), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 5120 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: 15.82 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1500 MHz from a base of 975 MHz.
