	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is much (about 334%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 206880 (334%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 66240 (160%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
