GeForce GTX 1060 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Nvidia Titan X, which comes with a clock frequency of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1251 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It features 3584 SPUs, 224 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1060		120 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 130 Watts (108%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X is 150% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1060		196608 MB/sec
	Difference: 294912 (150%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 163%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1060. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1060		120480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 196928 (163%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is much (more or less 88%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 1060, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1060		72288 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 63744 (88%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen 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 amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can 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 - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
