GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1925 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2250 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 5120 SPUs, 320 TAUs, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 253824 (76%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be a lot (more or less 221%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		616000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 424000 (221%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6950 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 150400 (157%)

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 moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
