It features 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s, which is a notable constraint for higher-resolution textures and memory-intensive workloads. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1455 MHz and a boost clock of 1755 MHz, with memory running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective), producing a pixel rate of 84.24 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 140.4 GTexel/s.

The GPU’s 2560 shading units deliver an FP32 throughput of 8.986 TFLOPS, which is competitive for a mobile 40-series part, though the PassMark G3D score of 14423 places it only in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. This places it roughly on par with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 (0.1% ahead) and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation (0.5% ahead), but behind more powerful desktop and mobile offerings. The 20 RT cores and 80 tensor cores provide hardware support for ray tracing and DLSS, but the limited memory bandwidth may reduce the effectiveness of these features in demanding titles.

For rendering, the GPU’s PassMark GPU compute score of 5947 indicates solid compute performance for general-purpose tasks, and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 75235 suggests good API efficiency. However, the 96-bit memory bus is a significant bottleneck for large data sets, meaning that while the GPU can handle modern rendering pipelines, it will struggle with scenes that exceed its 6 GB VRAM capacity. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure it is future-proof for upcoming titles, but the 8.986 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) performance is modest compared to higher-tier Ada chips.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates that the CPU is the stronger component in this pairing, with a 79th percentile ranking compared to the GPU’s 63rd percentile.
