In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are marginally better than the AMD Radeon 9000 Series 64MB.

The Radeon X1050 was released over three years more recently than the 9000 Series, and so the Radeon X1050 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 9000 Series 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 has 64 MB more video memory than the 9000 Series, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the 9000 Series has superior memory performance.

The 9000 Series has 2.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon X1050, which means that the memory performance of the 9000 Series is marginally better than the Radeon X1050.

Both the Radeon X1050 and the Radeon 9000 Series 64MB 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 Radeon 9000 Series 64MB. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050.
