Single-precision floating-point format, also called FP32, is a computer number format that typically occupies 32 bits in PC memory. This represents a wide dynamic range of numeric values that employs a floating point. FP32 power helps assess the video card's capabilities for generating rendering workloads. Video games use INT32 and FP32 cores to manage calculations with integers and numbers with decimals in order to produce maps, bone matrices on which the vertex shaders will calculate the vertices. Values in single precision format are mainly used in video games and 3D software.
