Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which features a core clock frequency of 2321 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 98304 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is just a bit (about 17%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 53952 (17%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is superior to the Nvidia Titan X, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12512 (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 MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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