Nvidia Titan X vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which has a core clock frequency of 1582 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1426 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 16 nm design. It is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

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

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 69325 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be a little bit (approximately 20%) better at texture filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62272 (20%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be a bit (approximately 12%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Nvidia Titan X, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15840 (12%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If 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 high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
