GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which makes use of a 14 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1290 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so in theory they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be a small bit (more or less 14%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050		54160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7760 (14%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 will be just a bit (more or less 5%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050		43328 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2048 (5%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
