GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon HD 5570

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 5570, which features core speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 512 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 400(80x5) SPUs along with 20 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 5570		43 Watts
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
	Difference: 32 Watts (74%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 5570 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon HD 5570		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 85888 (298%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 376%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5570. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5570		13000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48920 (376%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5570		5200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36080 (694%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels 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 Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
