Hey, can somebody give me an exact explanation of the main difference between 16 and 32 ROPs is? Thank you.

I hope you aren't trying to make a purchase based on spec's of a GPU. If you are looking to compare GPU's, compare them with benchmarks in games you play or plan to play. There are lots of spec's on a GPU, and every GPU has strengths and weaknesses, but how they perform is all that we really care about.

Nah, I always look at reviews and benchmarks. Specs don't mean shit, but I'm trying to understand the difference.

Quite *offtopic*, but... is it worth flashing a HD 7850 when I get the same results by overclocking? That's the card we're talking rn.

no, because with flashing there is a chance to brick

plus you gain nothing as you get the same results
