    GPU Table Explanations

    GPU (Asc): This refers to the name of the graphics processing unit (GPU).

    Price (Asc): This column shows the price of the GPU, sorted in ascending order. The value next to the price indicates the percentage change in price compared to a previous day.

    Architecture: This refers to the core architecture of the GPU, including the process node (nm), the underlying architecture name, and any notable features. For example, AD102 / 5 nm / Ada Lovelace tells us that the RTX 4090 uses the AD102 core, built on a 5 nm process node, and based on the Ada Lovelace architecture.

    Shader/TMU/ROP/RT: These are performance metrics of the GPU:

    • Shader: The number of cores responsible for handling calculations.
    • TMU (Texture Mapping Unit): The number of cores involved in texture processing.
    • ROP (Raster Operations Pipeline): The number of cores used in the final stages of the rendering process.
    • RT (Ray Tracing Cores): The cores dedicated to ray tracing (advanced rendering effects).
    For example, 16384 / 512 / 176 / 128 means the RTX 4090 has 16,384 shaders, 512 TMUs, 176 ROPs, and 128 RT cores.

    Base/Boost Clock: These values indicate the speeds at which the GPU operates:

    • Base Clock: The minimum speed at which the GPU runs.
    • Boost Clock: The maximum speed the GPU can achieve under load.

    Memory: This describes the amount of video memory (VRAM) on the GPU and its type. For example, 24 GB GDDR6X / 384 bit means the RTX 4090 has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 384-bit memory interface.

    Mem Clock/Bandwidth: The memory clock refers to the speed of the memory, while bandwidth indicates the amount of data that can be transferred per second. For example, 1313 MHz / 1010 GB/s means the memory clock speed is 1313 MHz and the memory bandwidth is 1010 GB/s.

    TDP (Thermal Design Power): This is the maximum amount of power the GPU is expected to consume under full load, measured in watts. It also indicates the cooling solution needed. For example, 450 W means the RTX 4090 has a TDP of 450 watts.
