Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which features GPU core speed of 1700 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Nvidia Titan Xp should be a little 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 should be a bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to texture 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 will be a little bit (more or less 7%) better at FSAA than the Nvidia Titan Xp, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
