In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon 9500 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 7050.

The GeForce 7050 was released over three years more recently than the Radeon 9500, and so the GeForce 7050 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the Radeon 9500 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 Radeon 9500 and the GeForce 7050 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The GeForce 7050 has 1 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon 9500, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce 7050 is marginally better than the Radeon 9500.

The Radeon 9500 has 4 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 7050 has 2. 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.
