GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 465

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 465, which has GPU core speed of 607 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 802 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 352 Stream Processors, 44 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 465		102592 MB/sec
	Difference: 12096 (12%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (about 132%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 35212 (132%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 113%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 465, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 21856 (113%)

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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
