Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which has clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (39%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Nvidia Titan Xp should in theory be a lot better than the Radeon RX 5700 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 102093 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be quite a bit (approximately 80%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 168720 (80%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58112 (62%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
