In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are massively better than the AMD Radeon X1270.
The Radeon X1270 was released less than a year after the Radeon X1050, 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 X1270 and the Radeon X1050 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 Radeon X1270, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1050 is marginally better than the Radeon X1270.
The Radeon X1050 has 4 Shader Processing Units but the Radeon X1270 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon X1270 requires 14 Watts to run and the Radeon X1050 requires 24 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the Radeon X1270. The Radeon X1050 requires 10 Watts more than the Radeon X1270 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon X1050 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the Radeon X1270.

| Mini Review | This GPU was intended to be an overclocked and tweaked Radeon Xpress 1200 but it was never released and it does not exist. | 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. | |||
