CUDA - GB/s for PCI-E vs Gbps for memory clock speed for GPUs -


i'm astounded @ pci-e 3.0 speed: ~16 gb/s (gigabytes per second) against top gamma gpus memory clock speed (a titan x lists ~10 gbps i.e. giga-bits per second)

so have

pci-e 3.0    16 gb/s titan x      ~1 gb/s 

so question is: why there abysmal difference? in regard cuda pci-e biggest hurdle @ harnessing gpu power seems contrary: pci-e can handle way bigger loads gpu memory can (even pci-e ~8 gb/s)

is reasoning flawed somehow?

the 10 gigabit/s memory bandwidth value titan x per-pin. 384 bit wide memory interface amounts total theoretical peak memory bandwidth of 480 gb/sec. practically achievable values 80% of theoretical peak bandwidth, both memory , pcie well.
