In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE.

The GeForce 6150 LE has a 25 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon X1050, but the Radeon X1050 has 3 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce 6150 LE. As a result, the Radeon X1050 exhibits a 1.2 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce 6150 LE. Neither of these GPUs support DirectX 10 or higher, so Texture Rate holds more weight than when comparing more modern GPUs.

The GeForce 6150 LE has a 25 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon X1050, but the Radeon X1050 has 3 more Render Output Units than the GeForce 6150 LE. As a result, the Radeon X1050 exhibits a 1.2 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce 6150 LE. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Radeon X1050 was released over a year more recently than the GeForce 6150 LE, 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 6150 LE.

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 128 MB video memory, but the GeForce 6150 LE does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

The GeForce 6150 LE has 2 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon X1050 has 4. 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, the Radeon X1050 has 1.2 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate, 1.2 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate, and 5.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth, so should have a marginally faster performance than the GeForce 6150 LE.

The GeForce 6150 LE transistor size technology is 20 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon X1050. This means that the GeForce 6150 LE is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon X1050. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the GeForce 6150 LE should consume less power than the Radeon X1050.

The Radeon X1050 requires 24 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 6150 LE. 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 GeForce 6150 LE.
