GeForce GTX Titan vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1582 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1426 MHz on this model. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan Xp should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX Titan overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
	Difference: 272461 (94%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be quite a bit (approximately 103%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 192192 (103%)

Pixel Rate

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

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 111696 (278%)

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 MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
