GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 150 Watts (200%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should be 300% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be quite a bit (about 315%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 194880 (315%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 61440 (149%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
