Graphics Performance
The RTX 6000 Ada Generation scores 28,454 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Enthusiast tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD102), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 18176 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 568 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 192 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 91.06 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2505 MHz from a base of 915 MHz.
