Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp will be quite a bit (more or less 468%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 312864 (468%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be a lot (more or less 355%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 118464 (355%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
