In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1300 256MB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE 256MB.
The 6150 SE was released less than a year after the Radeon X1300 256MB, 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 GeForce 6150 SE 256MB and the Radeon X1300 256MB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The Radeon X1300 256MB has 4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the 6150 SE, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1300 256MB is marginally better than the 6150 SE.
The GeForce 6150 SE 256MB has 2 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon X1300 256MB 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, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.
We would recommend a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the Radeon X1300 256MB, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the 6150 SE.

Mini Review | The NVIDIA GeForce 6500, 6200, 6150 and 6100 GPUs feature a revolutionary design that delivers best-in-class performance on today's hottest games and applications. The only GPUs in their class to support Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, these GPUs power the latest effects without compromising performance. Further, these GPUs include NVIDIA PureVideo to deliver crisp, vibrant video to the PC. | Radeon X1300 256MB is an entry-level GPU based on the 90nm variant of the R500 architecture. It's based on the RV515 Core and offers 4 Pixel Shaders, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 128-bit of standard DDR. The central unit runs at 450MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 250MHz. Radeon X1300 is not much more powerful than R300 and R400 based Radeon X1050 GPUs and so 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. |
