GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon R9 M385X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1290 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 768 Stream Processors, 48 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M385X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1100 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should perform a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 M385X overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M385X 96000 MB/sec
Difference: 18688 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is just a bit (more or less 1%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M385X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X 61600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 320 (1%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be much (more or less 135%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M385X, and capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M385X 17600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 23680 (135%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated 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 better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 get to the max fill rate.
