Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 150 Watts (200%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should be 300% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT will be a lot (approximately 315%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 194880 (315%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 61440 (149%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in 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 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per 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 higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
