GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which features core clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

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

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan X is 193% faster than the Radeon RX 560 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 221312 (193%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is a lot (about 155%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 116800 (155%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X should be quite a bit (approximately 411%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 560, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 77200 (411%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated 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 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 graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
