Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon VII, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1400 MHz. The HBM2 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 43680 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is superior to the Radeon VII, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 62272 (70%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 also depends on many 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.
