GPU
Comparison of GPU cores for GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 6900 XT Xtreme Waterforce WB 16G and GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 Xtreme Waterforce WB 10G (rev. 2.0) LHR 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.

Cooler & Fans
Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 6900 XT Xtreme Waterforce WB 16G and GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 Xtreme Waterforce WB 10G (rev. 2.0) LHR as well as their sizes and performance. As a rule, fans with larger diameters have an advantage because they can move the same volumes of air while rotating more slowly than smaller fans. It should be noted that liquid cooling systems in addition to fans and aluminum radiators need some kind of pump, which can also be noisy.
