Geforce GTX 1080 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should theoretically be a little 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 will be a little bit (more or less 4%) better at anisotropic 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 a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, 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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
