Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800, which comes with a core clock speed of 1700 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan Xp should be a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6800 overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
	Difference: 36557 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is a bit (approximately 7%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Nvidia Titan Xp. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28320 (7%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be just a bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to AA than the Nvidia Titan Xp, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11328 (7%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
