GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which comes with a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 14000 MHz. It also features a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should in theory perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 8064 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a bit (about 3%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6000 (3%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is a better choice, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8000 (9%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it 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, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
