Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 560, which features core speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be a lot better than the Radeon RX 560 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 376832 (329%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (about 322%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 242208 (322%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 117232 (624%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
