GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which has core clock speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (233%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 6800 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 409600 (357%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 will be quite a bit (about 559%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 346080 (559%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 121920 (295%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
