GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 4608 SPUs along with 288 Texture Address Units and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 6800 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 225 Watts (300%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6800 XT should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a lot (more or less 749%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 463680 (749%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT will be quite a bit (approximately 466%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 192320 (466%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
