GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which comes with core clock speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		7734 points
GeForce GTX 1050		6657 points
	Difference: 1077 (16%)

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so in theory they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a little bit (about 14%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7760 (14%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 is just a bit (approximately 5%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2048 (5%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
