In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia Titan RTX are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB.
The RX 5700 XT has a 255 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 128 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 5700 XT. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 132 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RX 5700 XT. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5700 XT has a 255 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 32 more Render Output Units than the RX 5700 XT. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 26.9 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RX 5700 XT. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5700 XT was released less than a year after the Titan RTX, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The Titan RTX has 16384 MB more video memory than the RX 5700 XT, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Titan RTX also has superior memory performance overall.
The Titan RTX has 224 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 5700 XT, which means that the memory performance of the Titan RTX is massively better than the RX 5700 XT.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the Titan RTX has 4608. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5700 XT is 3170 and the actual shader performance of the Titan RTX is 8156. The Titan RTX having 4986 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Titan RTX delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 5700 XT.
The RX 5700 XT transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Titan RTX. This means that the RX 5700 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Titan RTX.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the Titan RTX requires 280 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the RX 5700 XT and a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the Titan RTX. The Titan RTX requires 55 Watts more than the RX 5700 XT to run. The difference is significant enough that the Titan RTX may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 5700 XT.

| Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture. Architecture The Navi 10 XL GPU offers support for GDDR6 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenGL 4.5. This variant of the Navi 10 XL GPU features 40 Compute Units activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GPU features a 1605 MHz base clock speed and up to 1905 MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated 15% faster than a Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce RTX 2080. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1605 MHz, rising to 1905 MHz with boost clock enabled. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 8GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, In some limited scenarios, 8GB might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 225W, it requires at least a 750W PSU with one available 8+6-pin connector. Performance The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MSI Mech 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 4K. We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The Nvidia Titan RTX is the top RTX 20 Series graphics card and considered an Enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing architecture. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal.

GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing TU102-400A-A1 which has 4608 Shader Processing Units, 288 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1350MHz and goes up to 1750MHz in Boost mode. It also has 576 Tensor Cores for AI purposes and 72 RT Cores for real-time ray-tracing. Memory The GPU accesses a 24GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 384-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 280W, it requires at least a 650W PSU with two 8-pin power connectors. System Suggestions Nvidia Titan RTX is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a top-End Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
