Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. 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 5600 XT		160 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan X should be much faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 147456 (43%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (about 60%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 119408 (60%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing 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 5600 XT		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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock 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 output rate also depends on lots of 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.
