Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 570, which features a core clock speed of 1168 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 570		150 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X should be 114% quicker than the Radeon RX 570 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (114%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (about 112%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the Radeon RX 570, 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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
