Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
	Difference: 170 Watts (213%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan Xp should be 389% faster than the Radeon RX 560 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 446157 (389%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be quite a bit (more or less 405%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 304480 (405%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is superior to the Radeon RX 560, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 133072 (708%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount 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 applied per second.

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