Most operations on the GPU operate in a vectorized fashion: one operation can be performed on up to four values at once.{{Disputed inline|date=July 2025}} For example, if one color {{angbr|R1, G1, B1}} is to be modulated by another color {{angbr|R2, G2, B2}}, the GPU can produce the resulting color {{angbr|R1*R2, G1*G2, B1*B2}} in one operation. This functionality is useful in graphics because almost every basic data type is a vector (either 2-, 3-, or 4-dimensional).{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} Examples include vertices, colors, normal vectors, and texture coordinates.
