GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with clock speeds of 1670 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan X, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the Radeon RX 5500 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 106624 (46%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X should be quite a bit (about 31%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5500. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45040 (31%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X should be much (more or less 80%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5500, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42560 (80%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one 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 - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
