Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2321 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X is 25% faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 98304 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be just a bit (more or less 17%) more effective at texture filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 53952 (17%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is a better choice, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12512 (9%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
