Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1700 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this particular model. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6800 should perform just a bit faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be quite a bit (more or less 29%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 90592 (29%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 27168 (20%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
