Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (39%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan X should be a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 5700 overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 50%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 106448 (50%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (about 45%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 5700, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42272 (45%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
