GeForce GTX 1070 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X memory works at a speed of 1251 MHz on this particular model. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070		150 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan X should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (88%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (more or less 76%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		180720 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136688 (76%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is quite a bit (more or less 41%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		96384 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 39648 (41%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
