Graphics Performance
The RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation scores 20,669 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture (codename: AD104), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 6144 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 192 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 19.17 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1560 MHz from a base of 720 MHz.
