GeForce GT 1030 vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (733%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan Xp, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 511693 (1041%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp is quite a bit (about 838%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 339200 (838%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 131632 (650%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should 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 high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
