GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with core speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 105 Watts (140%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5700 should theoretically be much superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is quite a bit (approximately 241%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 149040 (241%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 52480 (127%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
