Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which features GPU core speed of 1825 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 5120 Stream Processors, 320 TAUs, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
Radeon RX 6900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (20%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should in theory be just a bit faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (7%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT will be much (about 84%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 266592 (84%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6900 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
