GeForce GTX 1050 vs Radeon HD 5750 1GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, which has core clock speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 1150 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 720(144x5) SPUs along with 36 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 is much (approximately 115%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5750 1GB		25200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28960 (115%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5750 1GB		11200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 32128 (287%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
