GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 465

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 465, which has core clock speeds of 607 MHz on the GPU, and 802 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 352 SPUs along with 44 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 465		200 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (167%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 465 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 465		102592 MB/sec
	Difference: 12096 (12%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is much (more or less 132%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 35212 (132%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 21856 (113%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
