Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1925 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2250 MHz on this card. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 TAUs and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
Radeon RX 6950 XT		335 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (34%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6950 XT should in theory be just a bit faster than the Nvidia Titan Xp in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		589824 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
	Difference: 28979 (5%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be a lot (approximately 62%) more effective at texture filtering than the Nvidia Titan Xp. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		616000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 236320 (62%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6950 XT is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 94528 (62%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
