Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 570, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1168 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 570		150 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Nvidia Titan X should in theory be a lot better than the Radeon RX 570 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (114%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is much (more or less 112%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 167904 (112%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 98656 (264%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be 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 graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
