GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which features GPU core speed of 2310 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR6X RAM set to run at 1313 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 7680 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 80 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 401408 (350%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (about 795%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 492480 (795%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 143520 (348%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
