Graphics Performance

The Tesla K80 scores 5,363 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler 2.0 (2013−2015) architecture (codename: GK210), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2496 ×2 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 208 ×2 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ×2 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.113 TFLOPS ×2 — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 824 MHz from a base of 562 MHz.
