Nvidia Titan X vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which comes with clock speeds of 1582 MHz on the GPU, and 1426 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan Xp should theoretically be a little bit faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 69325 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp is just a bit (about 20%) more effective at AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62272 (20%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15840 (12%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
