Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which features core clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (39%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be a little bit superior to the Radeon RX 5700 overall. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (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 is a lot (about 45%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 per 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 number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour 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 also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
