GeForce GTX Titan X vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all that to the Nvidia Titan X, which has core speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X RAM. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X is 46% quicker than the GeForce GTX Titan X overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 155520 (46%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be much (approximately 65%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 125408 (65%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be quite a bit (about 42%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan X, and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40032 (42%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
