Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features a clock frequency of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (11%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan X will be 7% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be quite a bit (about 24%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60608 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (about 32%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33312 (32%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
