Graphics Performance
The Tesla M2070 scores 1,305 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Fermi (2010−2014) architecture (codename: GF100), manufactured on a 40 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 448 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 56 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.03 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
