	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be quite a bit (about 334%) faster with regards to 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 running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and very much so. (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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

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