GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which features a core clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 is 157% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 180224 (157%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (about 184%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114080 (184%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46720 (113%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write 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 - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
