GPU

Comparison of GPU cores for ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 2xDVI and MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5 OCV1 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.
