GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all of that 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 makes use of a 16 nm design. It is comprised of 3584 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X should perform much faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 376832 (329%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be quite a bit (more or less 413%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 255488 (413%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution 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 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 94752 (230%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 also depends 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.
