Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (6%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X should be 7% quicker than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be just a bit (more or less 18%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48608 (18%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28512 (27%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
