In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 6200.

The Radeon X1050 was released over a year more recently than the GeForce 6200, 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 GeForce 6200.

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 GeForce 6200 has 128 MB more video memory than the Radeon X1050, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GeForce 6200 also has superior memory performance overall.

The GeForce 6200 has 3.5 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon X1050, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce 6200 is marginally better than the Radeon X1050.

Both the Radeon X1050 and the GeForce 6200 have 4 Shader Processing Units. 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 GeForce 6200. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050.
