Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is 19% quicker than the Radeon R9 M375X overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 14016 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should be a lot (about 65%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 26216 (65%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB will be a lot (more or less 106%) better at AA than the Radeon R9 M375X, and capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 17168 (106%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
