GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 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 a lot (more or less 220%) faster with regards to 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 lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
