Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT will be 19% faster than the GeForce GTX Titan overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
	Difference: 55680 (19%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a small bit (more or less 6%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 10512 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47824 (119%)

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 transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per 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 better this number, the better the 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
