| Clock frequency gpu | 1607 MHz | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Nominal clock Stated by the vendor Reference card, as specified in NVIDIA's launch table. The base clock: the frequency the card is specified to hold, and the one of its two clocks that belongs in the same row as a fixed crystal frequency. The boost clock is recorded separately, because a ceiling reached when there is thermal headroom answers a different question. | |
| Clock frequency gpu | 1733 MHz | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Peak clock Stated by the vendor Reference card, the frequency NVIDIA guarantees the card reaches when power and thermal headroom allow. The boost clock, and NVIDIA's own footnote is why it is a separate figure rather than a better version of the base clock: the vendor computes its rate figures from this frequency, not from the one the card is specified to hold. It sits in the same comparability group as the PlayStation 5's variable-frequency ceiling and in a different one from every fixed clock in the catalog. | |
| Peak FP32 rate gpu | 8873 GFLOP/s | Confirmed | Theoretical | Theoretical peak Stated by the vendor 2,560 single-precision cores at the 1733 MHz boost clock, per the whitepaper's footnote. A theoretical peak, not an achieved rate. NVIDIA's table labels this row only "GFLOPs". It is approved as a single-precision rate because the same vendor, in the launch article, describes the parts that produce it as "2560 single-precision CUDA Cores", and because the figure is exactly those cores multiplied by two operations and the boost clock the table's footnote says it uses. That is a precision the vendor stated, in the vendor's own documents, not a reading this catalog supplied, which is what keeps the console teraflops figures provisional. | |
| Geekbench Compute score, opencl gpu | 54 526 | Confirmed | Measured | Benchmark chart average Published independently geekbench-compute 7 , opencl A dated capture of the benchmark publisher’s rolling average for this graphics processor, read from the 25 July 2026 OpenCL chart. Version 7 calibrates a compute result against a baseline of 100,000, so it may be compared only with another Geekbench 7 OpenCL figure from this curation round, never with a Metal figure, an earlier version or a processor score. The chart also lists this processor under “GeForce GTX 1080”, at 55 875; the row naming the product as its maker does was taken, and the disagreement is recorded in the conflict ledger. | |
| Thermal design power gpu | 180 W | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Rated power Stated by the vendor "TDP: 180 W" for the reference card, alongside a 500 W recommended system power that describes a computer rather than this card. NVIDIA's own word for this figure is TDP, so it is recorded as a cooling-design target. The GeForce RTX 5090 nine years later states a "Total Graphics Power" instead, which is a different definition and therefore a different metric. The two sit in different rows on purpose, and neither would allow a ratio in any case. | |
| Transistor count gpu | 7 200 000 000 transistors | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Die specification Stated by the vendor Whole die, as NVIDIA states it: the graphics, memory-controller and display blocks together. "7.2 billion" is two significant digits, not eleven. NVIDIA states the same count in the article and in the whitepaper, and neither breaks it down by block, so nothing here says how many of these transistors do arithmetic. | |
| Process node gpu | 16 nm | Confirmed | Vendor-rated | Die specification Stated by the vendor Node as named by the foundry and repeated by NVIDIA: "16nm FinFET". A node name rather than a measured dimension. Nothing on this die is sixteen nanometers across, and the metric forbids ratios for that reason: "four times finer than 4 nm" would be a statement about marketing rather than about silicon. | |
