Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which comes with core speeds of 1605 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (11%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan X should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (about 24%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60608 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 32%) more effective at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33312 (32%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
