MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING Z 8G vs AMD Radeon RX 570

Comparison of GPU cores for MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING Z 8G and AMD Radeon RX 570 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.
