EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB XC3 GAMING vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090

Comparison of GPU cores for EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB XC3 GAMING and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 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.
