GeForce GTX 1050 vs Radeon HD 6750

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6750, which has a core clock frequency of 725 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 720 SPUs, 36 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1050		75 Watts
Radeon HD 6750		86 Watts
	Difference: 11 Watts (15%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1050 will be 79% quicker than the Radeon HD 6750 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		114688 MB/sec
Radeon HD 6750		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 50688 (79%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 is quite a bit (about 108%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 6750. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6750		26100 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28060 (108%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6750		11600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 31728 (274%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
