GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R5 M330

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R5 M330, which features a clock frequency of 1030 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 100288 (696%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be much (about 201%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		20600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 41320 (201%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 401%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R5 M330, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330		8240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33040 (401%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
