GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 460, which has a clock speed of 1090 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be 2% quicker than the Radeon RX 460 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 2688 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a bit (about 1%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 880 (1%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 460, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23840 (137%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
