In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 9300 GS are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 7050.
The GeForce 9300 GS was released less than a year after the GeForce 7050, 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 9300 GS has 384 MB more video memory than the GeForce 7050, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GeForce 9300 GS also has superior memory performance overall.
The GeForce 9300 GS has 2.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 7050, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce 9300 GS is marginally better than the GeForce 7050.
The GeForce 7050 has 2 Shader Processing Units but the GeForce 9300 GS does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce 9300 GS, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the GeForce 7050.

Mini Review | The GeForce experience is more affordable than ever with NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series motherboard GPUs, now for Intel-based PCs. *Immersive experiences on the latest applications and games. *Enjoy Windows Aero features such as Flip 3D, taskbar preview and translucent windows for a more productive computing experience. *Support for a full range of Intel CPUs (including Core™ 2, Pentium™ and Celeron™ CPU families), DDR2-800 memory and integrated HDMI or DVI display output. | It had previously been thought that NVIDIA had decided to drop the G and NV nomenclature for a D (for Desktop) nomenclature on their processors. Following the D is the generation number and the target market indicator. NVIDIA's official designations for target markets include Mainstream, Performance, and Enthusiast. For example, the D9E indicates a 9th generation Desktop GeForce video card for the Enthusiast market[1]. However, NVIDIA has actually forked their codenames into those of graphics processors, and those of graphics cards. The GPU cores have kept the prefix 'G' and future versions will include the prefix 'GT'; whereas the actual cards are now codenamed as D, generation number and target market. |
