GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 275

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 275, which uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 633 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a speed of 1134 MHz on this model. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 28 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 12320 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 22%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 275. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 275		50640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11280 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be much (about 133%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 275, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 275		17724 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23556 (133%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
