Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 42688 (59%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a lot (approximately 94%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 29920 (94%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 223%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28480 (223%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
