On IDY.kr an article has been published, which compares an alleged GeForce GTX "X" with an also alleged R9 390X. In the case of the R9 390X the editor is going to write about two configurations with different ROP count.

More than one year before NVIDIA launched their GK110 based graphics cards, we did a similar performance estimation. If you want to give a sophisticated guess on performance of upcoming cards you can play with Shader count, clock speeds as well as memory interface. As long is the architecture is not going through a major overhaul most relations are of proportionate nature and therefore not too complicated to put into perspective.

Following the different tables from DG Lee over at IDY.kr we see that his theoretical GeForce Titan "X" would end up 46.23% quicker than a Titan Black. In the case of the R9 390X DG Lee is having a look at a configuration with 64 ROPs and a config with 96 ROPs. When looking at his theoretical results for the 64 ROP card we see it would be 24.03% quicker than todays R9 290X. If there were 96 ROPs, then the card could end up a whopping 48 percent quicker than its predecessor.

If these numbers are kind of close to a future reality, then an interesting fight between the upcoming Titan "X" and R9 390X could develop.
