Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a lot (about 66%) more effective at AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 208192 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 97568 (72%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

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