GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon R9 295X2

Intro

The GeForce GTX Titan X has a core clock speed of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 3072 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Compare that to the Radeon R9 295X2, which features clock speeds of 1018 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX Titan X 336000 MB/sec
Difference: 304000 (90%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 295X2 should be quite a bit (more or less 87%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Radeon R9 295X2 358336 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X 192000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 166336 (87%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 295X2 is much (approximately 36%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan X, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R9 295X2 130304 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X 96000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 34304 (36%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed 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 this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 fill rate is also dependant on many 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.

It's funny that nVidia even tries to sell the Titan X, since the Z is upcoming and the R9 295X2 is way better than anything nVidia has made (and easily $450 cheaper)

Thank you finally someone with some sense!

Two great cards. Make no mistake.

I bought a 295X2 a month ago and the performance / price point is absolutely astonishing. I'm absolutely aware that nVidia's Titan X is a faster 'single core' performer, but every AAA game that I've played so far has run like a banshee without any issues. The exception is Titanfall, but that game is so bad it's hardly an issue.

Battlefield 4 and Shadow of Mordore are just insane for example. The only thing that might usurp it is the forthcoming 390X, but I can't see it happening, hence I made the purchase!

jajajaj
donde estan los de Nvidia?
