Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1717 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (114%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (approximately 110%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5500 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 166312 (110%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 81088 (148%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
