Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan X should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (67%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be much (about 80%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 141408 (80%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is quite a bit (more or less 55%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5600, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 48032 (55%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
