NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 vs GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 16GB AERO

Comparison of GPU cores for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 16GB AERO 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.
