GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which features core speeds of 1925 MHz on the GPU, and 2250 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 5120 SPUs as well as 320 Texture Address Units and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

	Difference: 475136 (414%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT is quite a bit (about 895%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		616000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 554080 (895%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be much (about 497%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 205120 (497%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
