Technical specs

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	2560	6144
Core clock speed	1680 MHz	780 - 1100 MHz
Boost clock speed	1980 MHz	1245 - 1710 MHz
Number of transistors	10,300 million	17,400 million
Manufacturing process technology	7 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	225 Watt	150 Watt (80 - 150 Watt TGP)
Texture fill rate	316.8	296.6

Size and compatibility

Information on Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary and GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
