GeForce GTX 1070 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specs to the Nvidia Titan X, which comes with a clock frequency of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1251 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit memory bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It features 3584 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1070		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (88%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (about 76%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		180720 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136688 (76%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the GeForce GTX 1070, by a large margin. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		96384 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 39648 (41%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few 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.
