GeForce GT 1030 vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1582 MHz and a GDDR5X memory speed of 1426 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It features 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (733%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan Xp should be 1041% quicker than the GeForce GT 1030 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 511693 (1041%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be a lot (more or less 838%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 339200 (838%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 131632 (650%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
