Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon R7 M260X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M260X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 825 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan Xp should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M260X overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 496845 (776%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be quite a bit (more or less 1818%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 359880 (1818%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be a lot (approximately 2201%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M260X, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 145272 (2201%)

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 moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
