In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are very slightly better than the AMD FireGL V3100.

The Radeon X1050 was released over a year more recently than the FireGL V3100, 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 FireGL V3100.

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 FireGL V3100 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 2.1 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the FireGL V3100, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1050 is marginally better than the FireGL V3100.

The Radeon X1050 has 4 Shader Processing Units and the FireGL V3100 has 2. The two GPUs are based on different architectures, but deliver an equivalent shader performance. To compare, we must continue to look 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 FireGL V3100. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the FireGL V3100. The two GPUs have been recommended a PSU with the same amount of wattage. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.
