Geforce GTX 1080 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan X, which has a clock speed of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1251 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It is made up of 3584 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should in theory be a small bit superior to the Nvidia Titan X overall. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		495616 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 4096 (1%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is just a bit (approximately 4%) better at texture filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14112 (4%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5792 (4%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This 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 card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
