GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan X, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 376832 (329%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is much (more or less 413%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 255488 (413%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 94752 (230%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
