GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which has GPU clock speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 2688 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is just a bit (approximately 1%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 most pixels that 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 amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
