GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan should in theory be much faster than the Radeon RX 560 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 173696 (151%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan is quite a bit (about 149%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 112288 (149%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan is superior to the Radeon RX 560, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 21376 (114%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

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