GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all that to the Nvidia Titan X, which comes with a clock speed of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory frequency of 1251 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit memory bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It is comprised of 3584 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (39%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X is 88% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (88%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 30%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73144 (30%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (more or less 32%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33184 (32%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
