NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 vs ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 8GB

Comparison of GPU cores for ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 8GB and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 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.
