The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is much (approximately 161%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7750. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 7750		25600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 41216 (161%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is quite a bit (more or less 161%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon HD 7750, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 7750		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20608 (161%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling 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 card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
