GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (200%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be much (about 220%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136080 (220%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a lot (approximately 113%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46720 (113%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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.
