Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon HD 4870 512MB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a GPU clock speed of 1290 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 Stream Processors, 48 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 4870 512MB, which has a core clock frequency of 750 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It features 800(160x5) SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon HD 4870 512MB should theoretically be a small bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be a lot (more or less 106%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 4870 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
