Question

i just bought a ati radeonx1050 because it was a good price and i jus want to noe if its better than my geforce fx 5200 and if its a good gaming card?

Answer 1

X1050 is just a budget card that is slightly better than FX5200. Both cards are slow for most current games.

Answer 2

Way back in September 2005 Spode reviewed the X550 from Sapphire. A budget card, it provided an alternative to integrated graphics, giving a nice boost to overall system performance. It also expanded your connectivity options allowing for dual-monitors and TV-out. Although claims of gaming performance enhancements were made on the packaging it was quite clear that this card struggled to keep up with any (then) current game at anything over 1,024 x 768, so it certainly wasn’t for even the casual gamer. All in all, it was considered a reasonable first step into discrete graphics for those that want a boost in graphical quality and performance but who aren’t going to be playing a lot of games.

Now, over a year later, ATI has renamed and refocused the X550 as a Vista compatible card that will enable even the lowliest of PCs to run the new Aero interface. The result is the X1050.

Many people have been quick to belittle ATI for basically repackaging a three-year old product and marketing it as a significant upgrade. However, at just under £40, it could be all a lot of people want from a graphics card. Giving them a sparkling new windows interface while offsetting any other graphical overheads and providing better video quality – by way of ATI's brilliant video processing. At a push, it will even play the most modern games, just at very low resolutions and quality settings.

Answer 3

well it wont play newer modern games that great more than likely but for games it was designed for i do believe it will out perform the 5200
