NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 vs MSI GeForce GTX 1070 FOUNDERS EDITION

Comparison of GPU cores for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and MSI GeForce GTX 1070 FOUNDERS EDITION 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.
