Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
Radeon RX 6800 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (20%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6800 XT will be 7% quicker than the Nvidia Titan X in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		524288 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a lot (about 66%) faster with regards to AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 208192 (66%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT should be much (more or less 72%) faster with regards to AA than the Nvidia Titan X, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 97568 (72%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
