GeForce GTX Titan X vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all that to the Nvidia Titan X, which features clock speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X RAM. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan X, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X in general. (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 quite a bit (more or less 65%) faster with regards to AF 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

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, by a large margin. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 in one 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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 ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
