Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (more or less 50%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 106448 (50%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (about 45%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5700, and able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42272 (45%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
