Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which has a clock speed of 1465 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 102093 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp is much (about 80%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 168720 (80%)

Pixel Rate

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

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58112 (62%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
