VS

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti features a GPU core speed of 1290 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB 61040 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 880 (1%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be quite a bit (approximately 137%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB 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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel 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 reach the max fill rate.
