GeForce GTX Titan X vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare those specs to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which features a clock speed of 1582 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1426 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 16 nm design. It is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan Xp, in theory, should perform much faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 224845 (67%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be quite a bit (more or less 98%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 187680 (98%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan X, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55872 (58%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
