DescriptionIn the gpu comparison between the MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING 12G and the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB SUPRIM, we compare both the technical data and the benchmark results of the two graphics cards.
The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING 12G is based on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (Ampere) and has 12 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a bandwidth of 360 GB/s. The 3584 shader units clock with a maximum of 1.78 GHz which results in an FP32 processing power of 12.74 TFLOPS. The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB SUPRIM is based on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (Ada Lovelace) and has 16 GB GDDR6X graphics memory with a bandwidth of 736 GB/s. The 9728 shader units have a maximum clock rate of 2.61 GHz and achieve an FP32 computing power of 50.78 TFLOPS. |

Clock SpeedsThe clock frequency of a graphics card determines the speed in connection with the graphics architecture. New manufacturing processes are making ever higher clock frequencies possible, whereby attention must also be paid to the energy consumption of the graphics card, as this also depends to a large extent on the clock frequency. |
