Geforce GTX 1080 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Nvidia Titan X, which features a core clock speed of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory frequency of 1251 MHz. It also features a 384-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It is made up of 3584 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should in theory be a little bit faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		495616 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be just a bit (about 4%) more effective at AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14112 (4%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5792 (4%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must 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 higher screen resolutions.

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

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