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

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan X will be 7% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is 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 a lot (about 45%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
