In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are massively better than the AMD Radeon Xpress 1100 128mb.
The Radeon X1050 was released less than a year after the Xpress 1100, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 Xpress 1100 128mb have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The Radeon X1050 has 5.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Xpress 1100, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1050 is marginally better than the Xpress 1100.
The Radeon X1050 has 4 Shader Processing Units but the Xpress 1100 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon X1050 requires 24 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon Xpress 1100 128mb. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050.

| Mini Review | Radeon X1050 is an entry-level GFX based on the 110nm variant of the R300 architecture. It's based on the RV370 Core and offers 4 Pixel Shaders, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 64-bit of standard DDR2. The central unit runs at 400MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 333MHz. Expect a TDP of up to 24 Watt. Radeon X1050 is not related to the rest of the X1000 Series GPUs due to being based on the R300 architecture and not on the R500. Its performance is relatively limited - even for DirectX 9 based games. As it's not based on a Shader-Unified architecture, both DirectX 10 & 11 games aren't supported. | The Radeon R300 (introduced August 2002) is the third generation of Radeon graphics chips from ATI Technologies. The line features 3D acceleration based upon Direct3D 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0, a major improvement in features and performance compared to the preceding Radeon R200 design. R300 was the first fully Direct3D 9-capable consumer graphics chip. The processors also include 2D GUI acceleration, video acceleration, and multiple display outputs. R300 refers to the development codename of the initially released GPU of the generation. R300 and its derivatives would form the basis for ATI's consumer and professional product lines for over 3 years. The integrated graphics processor based upon R300 is called Xpress 200. | |||
