Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

این یخچال منطقه‌ای به وسعت تقریباً ۱۰۰ کیلومتر مربع را می‌پوشاند. این یخچال در گذشته از سوی جنوب به نوار ساحلی اقیانوس اطلس منتهی می‌شد، اما به مرور زمان انتهای یخچال از اقیانوس اطلس فاصله گرفت تا این که منطقه‌ای بسیار زیبا و سرسبز با آبشارهای فراوان در جنوب ایافیاتلایوکوتل به وجود آمد که مشهورترین آبشار آن اسکوگافوس نام دارد.
