GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which has GPU core speed of 1020 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		75 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (25%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is 0% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		86400 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 384 (0%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is much (more or less 64%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 26016 (64%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB will be quite a bit (approximately 105%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 17088 (105%)

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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock 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 output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
