Graphics Performance
The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell scores 35,431 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Enthusiast tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 (2025−2026) architecture (codename: GB203), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 10496 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 328 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 112 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 50.53 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2407 MHz from a base of 1635 MHz.
