Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan Black		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should be 2% quicker than the GeForce GTX Titan Black in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 8064 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is just a bit (approximately 8%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15360 (8%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45328 (106%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
