Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which features GPU clock speed of 1925 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2250 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 5120 SPUs, 320 Texture Address Units, and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6950 XT should be 20% quicker than the Nvidia Titan X in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (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 texture 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 will be quite a bit (about 81%) more effective at AA than the Nvidia Titan X, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
