Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800, which has GPU core speed of 1700 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan Xp should in theory be a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6800 overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
	Difference: 36557 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be a little bit (about 7%) more effective at AF than the Nvidia Titan Xp. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28320 (7%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 will be a little bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Nvidia Titan Xp, and able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11328 (7%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
