GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460, which features clock speeds of 1090 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is 2% faster than the Radeon RX 460 overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 2688 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti will be just a bit (approximately 1%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 880 (1%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23840 (137%)

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 information (counted in MB 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 RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
