Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon VII, which comes with a core clock speed of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 4096-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (18%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon VII should be much faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 557056 (113%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is a bit (more or less 6%) better at AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 18592 (6%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is quite a bit (approximately 52%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon VII, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46432 (52%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at 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 that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
