	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition will be quite a bit (approximately 334%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 206880 (334%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 66240 (160%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record 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 core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
