Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of RTX A2000 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The RTX A2000 scores 13,464 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere (2020−2025) architecture (codename: GA106), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3328 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 104 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 7.987 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1200 MHz from a base of 562 MHz.
