Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has core speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

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

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan Xp is 22% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp is a lot (about 80%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be a lot (about 62%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
