GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 M385X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M385X, which features GPU core speed of 1100 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be just a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M385X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M385X		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 18688 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be a small bit (about 1%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M385X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X		61600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 320 (1%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a lot (more or less 135%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M385X, and will be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X		17600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23680 (135%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
