In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are significantly better than the AMD Radeon X300 Series.

The Radeon X1050 was released over a year more recently than the Radeon X300 Series, and so the Radeon X1050 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the Radeon X300 Series.

Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.

The Radeon X1050 and the Radeon X300 Series have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The Radeon X300 Series has 1.1 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon X1050, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X300 Series is marginally better than the Radeon X1050.

Both the Radeon X1050 and the Radeon X300 Series have 4 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.

The Radeon X1050 requires 24 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon X300 Series. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050.
