Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (11%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Nvidia Titan X should in theory be a small bit superior to the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 24%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60608 (24%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33312 (32%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
