3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		7734 points
GeForce GTX 1050		6657 points
	Difference: 1077 (16%)

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be a bit (approximately 14%) better at anisotropic 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

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but only just. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
