Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

The Nvidia Titan X comes with core clock speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1925 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 2250 MHz on this particular model. It features 5120 SPUs as well as 320 Texture Address Units and 128 ROPs.

Nvidia Titan X 491520 MB/sec
Difference: 98304 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be much (about 94%) better at AF than the Nvidia Titan X. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6950 XT is superior to the Nvidia Titan X, by a large margin. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
