Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to 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.
