Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which features core clock speeds of 1925 MHz on the GPU, and 2250 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 TAUs and 128 ROPs.

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

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6950 XT, in theory, should perform a little bit faster than the Nvidia Titan X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		589824 MB/sec
Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
	Difference: 98304 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT is a lot (about 94%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		616000 Mtexels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 298592 (94%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT should be much (approximately 81%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Nvidia Titan X, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 110368 (81%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out 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 better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum 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 this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
