GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon HD 5670

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5670, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific model. It features 400(80x5) SPUs along with 20 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon HD 5670		15500 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 46420 (299%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be much (more or less 566%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 5670, and capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5670		6200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35080 (566%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
