Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 570, which features core clock speeds of 1168 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (114%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be much (about 112%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 167904 (112%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 98656 (264%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
