Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be 19% faster than the Radeon R9 M380 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M380		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 18688 (19%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (about 55%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		40000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21920 (55%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is much (more or less 158%) better at AA than the Radeon R9 M380, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25280 (158%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. 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 bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
