Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is much (approximately 24%) more effective at texture 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

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, by a large margin. (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 maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
