Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 102093 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be much (approximately 48%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 122880 (48%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing 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 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 49152 (48%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
