GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 75 Watts
GeForce GTX 580 3GB 244 Watts
Difference: 169 Watts (225%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 580 3GB should be 68% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 580 3GB 192384 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 114688 MB/sec
Difference: 77696 (68%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 25%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 580 3GB 49408 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 12512 (25%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is just a bit (about 11%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 580 3GB 37056 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 4224 (11%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

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