Graphics Performance

The RTX A5500 Mobile scores 17,120 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere architecture (codename: GA103), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 7424 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 232 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 22.27 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1500 MHz from a base of 975 MHz.
