Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 275		219 Watts
	Difference: 144 Watts (192%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 275 should be 11% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 275		127008 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 12320 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be much (about 22%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 275. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 275		50640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11280 (22%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 275		17724 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23556 (133%)

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 MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 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 worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
