GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (200%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (approximately 220%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136080 (220%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
