GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which has core speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a little bit (more or less 14%) faster with regards to AF 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 is a bit (about 5%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
