GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2055 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 2190 MHz on this particular model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 201120 (325%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 90240 (219%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
