GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1825 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 5120 SPUs, 320 TAUs, and 128 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 409600 (357%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be much (about 843%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 522080 (843%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6900 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 192320 (466%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure 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 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
