In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 XT are massively better than the Intel 865G.
The X1050 XT was released over three years more recently than the 865G, and so the X1050 XT is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 865G 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 X1050 XT has 112 MB more video memory than the 865G, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the X1050 XT also has superior memory performance overall.
The X1050 XT has 1.6 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the 865G, which means that the memory performance of the X1050 XT is marginally better than the 865G.
The X1050 XT has 8 Shader Processing Units but the 865G does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon X1050 XT requires 24 Watts to run and the 865G requires 13 Watts. The X1050 XT requires 11 Watts more than the 865G to run. The difference is not significant enough for the X1050 XT to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the 865G.

Mini Review | Radeon X1050 XT is an entry-level GFX based on the 110nm variant of the R400 architecture. It's based on the RV410 Core and offers 8 Pixel Shaders, 8 TMUs and 8 ROPs, on a 64-bit of standard DDR. The central unit runs at 400MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 200MHz. Expect a TDP of up to 24 Watt. Radeon X1050 XT is not related to the rest of the X1000 Series GPUs due to being based on the R400 architecture and not on the R500. It's instead a slightly lower clocked X700 and should offer similar performance. 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. | Intel 865G comes embedded on the Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Celeron, Celeron D CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel Extreme Graphics 2. It only supports DirectX up to 7.0 so even DirectX 8/9 games aren't (hardware) supported. The performance is ridiculous and even very old games (before 2003) might require reduced settings. Today's games are, obviously, unplayable. |
