Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800, which comes with core speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan Xp is 7% quicker than the Radeon RX 6800 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
	Difference: 36557 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is a little bit (about 7%) more effective at texture filtering than the Nvidia Titan Xp. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28320 (7%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is superior to the Nvidia Titan Xp, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11328 (7%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
