GIGABYTE Radeon RX Vega 56 8G vs AMD RX Vega 56

Comparison of GPU cores for AMD RX Vega 56 and GIGABYTE Radeon RX Vega 56 8G graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.
