GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

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

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should theoretically be a little bit superior to the GeForce GTX Titan overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
	Difference: 55680 (19%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a bit (approximately 6%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 10512 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47824 (119%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
